GREAT-SOUTH-STAR, PROTECTOR OF WARRIORS. 59 
be allowed to enter; the door should not be opened until after the child 
should be born; she should not allow the child to know where his father 
was until he should get to be of the proper age, for he (the father) 
was going to a distant place, to be there for all time, so that he might 
thereafter be near his enemies, for he was tired of going a long way 
to find them. After giving these instructions he set out on the war- 
path with his followers. He went towards the south. He kept on 
going until one of the men gave out, and there were three left. He 
went on again, and another gave out and there were two left. He 
went on again, another gave out, and there was one left. He went on 
again, and the last one gave out and then he was left alone. He kept 
on, looking for a place to live, where he would be near his enemies. He 
came to a high cave-like place, and this he made his permanent home. 
Here he lived for a long time, near his enemies. Whenever the Pro- 
tector-of-Warriors felt like fighting he would attack his foes and cut 
off their heads, for he was a wonderful man, who could not be hit 
with an arrow. He had a long pole, which he stuck up in front of his 
place, upon which he might hang the heads of his enemies. 
The time finally came when the Protector-of-Warriors’ son was 
born. The child grew rapidly and finally became a man; his name was 
Young-Flint-Stone (Tahadia). Young-Flint-Stone began to ask his 
mother if he had any father. She told him that:his father had gone a 
long distance to live and was never to return; so he asked his mother 
to grind meal enough for him to take along with him while he went 
out to look for his father. This was done, and Young-Flint-Stone, 
being wonderful like his father, traveled fast and found his father’s 
trail. When he had been on the journey a good while he came to one 
of the men who had given out. When he came near him the man was 
too angry to see him, and asked why he should come around near him. 
Young-Flint-Stone then took out a handful of meal and put it in the 
man’s mouth; then he believed that Young-Flint-Stone must be some 
one from the same village he himself had come from, and said, “O yes, 
this reminds me of being in Where-Blackbirds-lit-on-elm-Tree, or 
Stone-Corn-Mills-lying-on-Hill-side, or Large-elm-Tree-near-Edge-of- 
the-Village, or Where-large-Ears-of-Corn-grow. Young-Flint-Stone, 
by keeping on going you will reach the place where your father lives.” 
Young-Flint-Stone went on, and on, until he came to the next man who 
had given out, who, like the first, was very angry at being approached ; 
but this made no difference to Young-Flint-Stone. He went up toward 
him, took out a handful of meal and put it in his mouth, and the 
man said: “This reminds me of being in Where-Blackbirds-lit-on-elm-
