GREAT-SOUTH-STAR, PROTECTOR OF WARRIORS. SI 
fight some of his enemies. They both went on down the hill, traveling 
all that morning, until they came to a village, and there they met 
their enemies. Young-Flint-Stone was the first one to kill a man, 
and the old man next, and then they turned and came on home. Young- 
Flint-Stone did not remain here very long. He was asked to re- 
turn home, for the people were looking for him to come home. Healthy- 
Flint-Stone-Man told him that it was very near time for the next gen- 
eration to come, and that the place where he was then would be known 
as the Protector-of-Warriors (Netskatcitikitawe). He told his son to 
tell the people that he had seen his father, and that he was there, never 
to return home, and that in the next generation he would be seen as 
the Great-South-Star ; and in the next generation, when any one sent out 
war-parties they should offer him smoke, and then he would take pity 
on whoever should make the offering, and give him good fortune of 
having an easy time in meeting enemies, and of always returning vic- 
torious. So Young-Flint-Stone was requested to take back with him 
a scalp for the man’s wife and father, mother, and sisters. Young- 
Flint-Stone then departed from his father with the scalp. 
On this way back he met the four men once more, and they asked 
the same as his father had done, that they might remain where they 
were, for it was so far from home and they were so old that they could 
never reach home. He traveled on, and on, and no. one knows how long 
it took him to reach home, but when he reached home he delivered the 
scalp to his people. The people were surprised to see him once more, 
for they knew it was not safe to be off as far as he had been from home. 
When the whole village heard of Young-Flint-Stone’s return they came 
about his place to see him, and to hear how he met his father. He then 
informed them what hard times he had had in traveling, and how he 
met the four men who were near to his father, and what they had said 
when he first met them on his way to see his father, and what hard times 
he had had introducing himself to this father, and how his father 
threatened his life when he met him, and how he accompanied his father 
on ithe war-path, and how the scalp was given by his father to be pre- 
sented to his people. The people then began to move away to their 
homes and the news spread about the boy’s visit to his father. When 
night came they had dances of all kinds in honor of Young-Flint-Stone 
and his father. So it is known that Young-Flint-Stone was the only 
person who ever went far enough south to see his father, the Protector- 
of-Warriors, and he was the last one ever to see him.
