Wolf Star Copyright © Marcine Quenzer All Rights Reserved Pawnee legend tells us that a council of all the animals was held to decide how the Earth was to be created. For some reason though, Wolf Star, the brightest star in the South, was not invited. His resentment fell on the Storm that comes out of the West who was charged with seeing that all went well in his travels. Storm carried a whirl wind bag which held the first People who were freed to hunt buffalo as he paused in the night. A gray wolf, sent by Wolf Star to track Storm, stole the bag and let the humans out. Angry because there were no buffalo and Storm was not to be found, the humans killed the wolf. The People had now brought death into the world, and though this had not been the plan, it was now the way. Storm told the People to make a sacred bundle with the pelt and put in it things to remind them of what they had done. They were to be known thereafter as the Wolf People. The Wolf Star comes and goes each night as does the wolf's spirit as it travels down the Wolf Road (the Milky Way). Teksti Marcine Quenzer Used with permission. Back |
