air, the bird eaught them and swallowed them, and the First Brother lost 
his sight. He then went to a spruce tree and squeezed it until some of the 
gum came out. Of this he made new eyes (which accounts for the differ- 
ence between the Indian’s and the white man’s eyes). The reason that 
there are so many twisted spruce in the country is due to the squeezing 
of a spruce by the First Brother when he wanted some of the gum to make 
new eyes. 
The First Brother once tried to kill all the wolverines because they 
ate men. Ke killed all save one. When he shot at this wolverine with his 
bow, the arrows turned aside. When he caught him in a deadfall, as soon 
as he would lift up the log, the wolverine would escape and climb a tree. 
The wolverine told the First Brother: “Beware of me for I shall destroy 
your caches and rob you”. He broke the First Brother’s ax and put out 
his fire.
