In the days of old, the Shaman of the Horn had his medicine lodge out in the forest away from the village. The Indians were always being beaten or killed by the white eyes.  Little Snake and the Shaman of the Horn had gone to the lower part of Shooting Creek to spear fish and Little Snake always said that the fish just jumped out of the water onto the spear of the Shaman of the Horn.

     They had many fish cooling in the waters of Shooting Creek and Little Snake said, “Well, since you got most of the fish I will have my old woman smoke the fish to eat today. We better be getting back for I have something I have to do for the old woman.”

     The Shaman of the Horn said, “You do not do as much for her as she does for you,” and the Shaman of the horn made funny sounds.

     Little Snake said, “I do a lot for the old woman,” and the Shaman said, “How many times have you smoked fish for her or when was the last time you made soft leather with your mouth to make a dress for her? I don’t remember the last time you gave birth to one of your children. What did you say you had to do for your old woman? We must go, it is getting late.”

     So they returned to the medicine lodge and the Shaman of the Horn said, “Would you like a drink of water before you go?”

     Little Snake said, “Yes, I would.” He laid the fish down on some leaves and Little Snake drank his water. Then he said, “I must be going,” and he ran off towards the village at Shooting Creek.  Not long after Little Snake had gone, five white eyes came to the medicine lodge of the Shaman of the horn. One white eye said, “Look at this dirty Indian, he smells like a dog.” Then they began to hit him and break up the medicine lodge.

     About this time, Little Snake said to himself, “I forgot the fish,” and he turned around and ran back to get them at the medicine lodge. As he got close to the lodge, he heard loud sounds coming from where the medicine lodge was. He slowed down to see what was making these sounds. He could see the white eyes breaking up the lodge. He turned around and ran very fast to get Red Wolf and the warriors in the village.  Little Snake came to the village and called to Red Wolf.

     He said, “The white eyes are breaking up the Shaman of the Horn’s medicine lodge, they are going to kill him.”

     Red Wolf called to the warriors, “Bring your bows, the white eyes have the Shaman of the Horn. We must get him back.” Red Wolf and the warriors ran to the place where the medicine lodge was. They surrounded the lodge and when Red Wolf looked he could not believe his eyes.

     Little Snake said, “Look, Red Wolf, look at the shadow dancers, they have these white eyes rolling around on the ground of the Mother Earth like little children.”  Red Wolf walked slowly towards his friend, the Shaman of the Horn. Little Snake came and said, “Do you need help my brother? I should have known that you would have all the help you needed. What do you wish us to do with these foolish white eyes?”        The Shaman of the Horn said, “When they are done playing in the dirt of Mother Earth and her shadow dancers are finished with them, you can have our warriors take them from our lands. They will not return to the lands of our people again.”

     Red Wolf called to the warriors, “Do as the Shaman of the Horn said, and do them no harm. Take them from our lands,” and Red Wolf said, “White eyes, remember what you have seen with your eyes, never come here again,” and the warriors took them away.

     Red Wolf said, “My brother, I know that you can take care of yourself but when Little Snake said they were breaking up your medicine lodge, I came at once. I believed that I would find the spirit gone from your body.”

     The Shaman said, “I have been here a long time. I have seen my father and your father cross over to the other side. I have seen many of the old ones passover and so will you and I in time. My friends, Red Wolf and Little Snake who does so much for your old woman, do you think she will fix the fish or do I need to call the shadow dancers to fix them?”

     Little Snake said, “Alright, I will fix them, come on.” Red Wolf and the Shaman of the Horn made loud sounds and placed their arms around Little Snake as they walked back towards the village.
