And after a while she came, very beautiful and singing, and as she went into the tepee this is what she sang: “You shall go home and tell your people that I am coming and that a big tepee shall be built for me in the center of the nation.”Īnd the man, who was very much afraid, went quickly and told the people, who did at once as they were told and there around the big tepee they waited for the sacred woman. Then the woman spoke to the one who was not foolish: And the beautiful young woman came out of the cloud, and when it blew away the foolish man was a skeleton covered with worms. “You do not know me, but if you want to do as you think, you may come.”Īnd the foolish one went but just as he stood before her, there was a white cloud that came and covered them. And she knew their thoughts and said in a voice that was like singing: When she came still closer, they saw that she wore a fine white buckskin dress, that her hair was very long and that she was young and very beautiful. “That is a sacred woman throw all bad thoughts away.” Then one of the scouts, being foolish, had bad thoughts and spoke them but the other said:

A very long time ago, they say, two scouts were out looking for bison and when they came to the top of a high hill and looked north, they saw something coming a long way off, and when it came closer they cried out,Īnd it was. There is a story about the way the pipe first came to us. And because it means all this, and more than any man can understand, the pipe is holy.

Is not the sky a father and the earth a mother, and are not all living things with feet or wings or roots their children? And this hide upon the mouthpiece here, which should be bison hide, is for the earth, from whence we came and at whose breast we suck as babies all our lives, along with all the animals and birds and trees and grasses. The black one is for the west where the thunder beings live to send us rain the white one for the north, whence comes the great white cleansing wind the red one for the east, whence springs the light and where the morning star lives to give men wisdom the yellow for the south, whence come the summer and the power to grow.īut these four spirits are only one Spirit after all, and this eagle feather here is for that One, which is like a father, and also it is for the thoughts of men that should rise high as eagles do. These four ribbons hanging here on the stem are the four quarters of the universe. See, I fill this sacred pipe with the bark of the red willow but before we smoke it, you must see how it is made and what it means.

So I know that it is a good thing I am going to do and because no good thing can be done by any man alone, I will first make an offering and send a voice to the Spirit of the World, that it may help me to be true. But now that I can see it all from a lonely hilltop, I know it was the story of a mighty vision given to a man too weak to use it of a holy tree that should have flourished in a people’s heart with flowers and singing birds, and now is withered and of a people’s dream that died in bloody snow.īut if the vision was true and mighty, as I know, it is true and mighty yet for such things are of the spirit, and it is in the darkness of their eyes that men get lost. These things I shall remember by the way, and often they may seem to be the very tale itself, as when I was living them in happiness and sorry. So also have many others done, and better than I. This then, is not the tale of a great hunger or of a great warrior, or of a great traveler, although I have made much meat in my time and fought for my people both as boy and man, and have gone far and seen strange lands and men. It is the story of all life that is holy and is good to tell, and of us two-leggeds sharing in it with the four-leggeds and the wings of the air and all green things for these are children of one mother and their father is one Spirit.
