384 THE ORIGIN OF MEDICINE CEREMONIES OR POWER. 
the man that he must go to his people. The man went out of the cave 
and went east to his people. 
On the way he made a song which he was to sing at the opening of 
his ceremony. The song is about the Raven-Man who first spoke to him. 
The second song which went with the other song was about the Raven- 
Man going away after telling him to go to a certain place in the moun- 
tains. He also made up two more songs about the Raven flying overhead 
and flying downwards. He also made up two other songs about the 
Raven crying to him and a great noise being made at a distance. He 
made up another song about the Ravens making great noises upon the 
top of the mountain. Then he made up two more songs about when he 
first entered the cave and heard the singing of the animals. He made 
up a song also in which he says, ‘‘The song which the people sang was 
fine.’’ The song which went with this latter song says: ‘‘The song was 
fine as I heard it at a distance.’ The man started the ceremony among 
the people. It was known as the Deer-Dance or Elk-Dance, and these 
songs are the first which they sing to show the people where this man 
got his dance.

separated from the party and could not find it again. He climbed a 
high hill and as he neared the top of the hill he heard asong. The song 
was like this: 
Here and there over this earth, 
Here and there I have traveled. 
The man looked around for the singer, and there on top of the hill 
sat an old Wolf on his haunches with his body erect. He was looking 
towards the heavens and singing. He sang the song several times, and 
the man heard the song and recognized it as the Wolf-Warrior song. 
The wolf was old, his hair had fallen, and there were few hairs upon his 
head, paws, and the end of his tail. The Wolf saw the man and said: 
“‘Come, my son, I want you to see me. This is my medicine that you 
’ The import of the songs are as given above. They consist of endless repeti- 
tions of the same lines. The music will be found in Part II. 
*Told by Thief, Kitkehahki. This relates the origin of the individual power 
obtained from a wolf by which a man became a fast traveler and a great warrior. 
The story serves as a reminder to old men that before dying they should transmit 
their power to young men.
