WOLF LEGEND

At the very beginning of All That Ever Was, CREATOR SPIRIT called a
great council together. All the animal spirits came and the nature
spirits came; the Wind that Moves Through the Heavens, the Fire that
Burns Without End, the Water That Brings Forth Life, and The Bones of
the Universe.

A great circle formed in the Heavens, and a great Joy was born- a Joy so
great that it became a Song, and as the Song rang out the Earth was
formed and all the Spirits at the council were a part of the Earth, and
all seemed Well.

Yet, from the heavens watched the Brightest Star That Ever Shown, and a
sadness came to Be, for the star was not called to the great council.
And that star was called the Wolf Star by the other spirits, and when
the Earth was formed, Wolf Star became Morning Star.

Then Star Daughter skinned the grey wolf and made the first sacred
bundle from his pelt, and in it she put the memory of what had happened.
And forever after the first people were called the Wolf People, and must
carry this memory over the earth, so that the Earth and its creatures
would remember where Death came from and why they had to die.

Every wolf knows the song of Star Daughter, and each morning before the
sun shines, all sing the words- that when the last wolf is gone, the
spirit of Wolf Brother must return to Morning Star, and Star Daughter
will go with him on the Path of Light.

Then the People of the Earth will vanish Forever.

Before the settlers came to this country, the Native Americans and the
wolf lived together in peace and harmony. They revered the wolf and
looked upon him as a brother and a teacher.
