the party. Then they told me to make a charge on the object which they were 

 pursuing. At first I was not sure what this was, but I soon saw it was a wolf 

 standing toward the west with its face toward the north. I was chosen to do 

 this, because some day I would need the protection of these riders, who were 

 thunderbirds who had assumed human form. They told me that because I had 

 been chosen to make that charge and had become one of their number I would 

 ever thereafter be called Wakin'yarj Wata'kpe (Charger of the Thunderbird). 

 After I had attacked and defeated the wolf I saw beyond it a camp with many 

 horses and a man lying dead on the ground. This signified that some day I would 

 conquer an enemy and capture his horses. Ever since that time my greatest enemy 

 has always seemed to me like a wolf, and whenever there is a thunderstorm I am 

 reminded of my dream.
