5. THE GREAT SOUTH-STAR, THE PROTECTOR OF WARRIORS. 
Healthy-Flint-Stone-Man lives in village of many names with family of 
father, mother, sisters, and wife. He is a great hunter and warrior, and he 
sends war-parties against the Trickster people. When his wife is pregnant he 
tells her what to do when child is born; that he is to be called Young-Flint-Stone, 
and is not to know where his father is until he is old enough. Healthy-Flint- 
Stone-Man sets out on war expedition and goes so far that his men die of old age 
on the way, until only four are left. He keeps going on until these men give 
out one after another. He then goes on alone until he reaches cave, which he 
makes his permanent home. From here he goes to attack his enemies, whose 
heads he cuts off and hangs on a long pole. Son is born and grows rapidly. 
When he becomes man he asks mother about father. She says he has gone long 
distance tto live. Boy asks mother to grind meal enough to take him to his 
father. This she does and boy starts in search of father. He finds trail and 
after long while comes to man who had given out. Man is angry, but boy puts 
meal in man’s mouth. Man says it reminds him of village he had come from, 
and that boy is Young-Flint-Stone. Boy goes on and comes to second, third, and 
fourth men, each of whom is angry, but after tasting meal knows him. Fourth 
man tells him where his father lives, and that he will have to sneak around to get 
to his dwelling place or his father will kill him. Young-Flint-Stone goes on and 
manages to get in. Father will not believe him to be his son and tries to throw 
him. Young-Flint-Stone at last succeeds in putting meal in his father’s mouth. 
This reminds him of his village and he recognizes his son. He tells him he has 
come there to be near his enemies, and that he can not go back. His hair ds 
turning to flint stones. Young-Flint-Stone sees pole on which hang many skulls, 
old and fresh. He goes with father to attack enemy and each kills man. Young- 
Flint-Stone does not remain long. Father sends word to people that in next 
generation his place will be known as the Protector-of-Warriors, and that he 
will be seen as Great-South-Star. When they send out war-parties they are to 
offer him smoke for good fortune and victory. He sends scalp for his family. 
Young-Flint-Stone on his way home sees four men again, but they remain where 
they are. He reaches home safe, much to surprise of people, to whom he delivers 
scalp and gives account of his adventures. Young-Flint-Stone becomes a great 
warrior as his father, Great-South-Star, to whom he offers smoke. Young-Flint- 
Stone becomes a Star, Flint-Stone-lying-down-Above.
