The Legend of the Pipestone By the Old Man on the Hill This is the story of the P'pe- stone as told by the old story teller in the council house at Crow Creek Agency one winter evening in 1889. Many years ago, in fact cen turies before this country was known to the white man, so long ago that the only knowledge the red man have of it is the old traditions handed down from gen eration to generation, two great nations dwelt in the country east and west of the Great River. Those who lived on tlte Big Muddy River in the Dakotas were known as the Plain people, Those who lived east of the Minnie Eaquie (sky water) in which is now known as Minnesota, were the Forest people. They were all Indians but tradition has it they were white in color. They were continually at war. The Plains people were the more valiant but the Forest people were the more cunning anil crafty, so all in all they were nearly evenly matched. Old Sentekoda, or Shakes His Tail, the wiley old chief of ’ the Forest people, relied on hit and run tatics. He would get the Plain warriors to pursue his war- i rors into the forests where the Plain people, who relied on horses would be at a disadvantage. In this way he inflicted severe loss on them. The few times they fought the Plain warriors out in the- open country they were sever- ly trounced. The chief of the Plains tribes, Moga Ska (white Goose) was a wise and sagacious old chieftian who tried in vain to restrain his warriors from pursuing the enemy into the forests. Finally, exas perated, he called a council and outlined a plan of campaign: “Chiefs and warriors of this tribe, we are through chasing those cun. ning dogs into their own territory to be shot down or burned at the stake to make sport for their squaws and old men. From now on we will match our cunning with theirs and if we do not beat them at their own game, we de serve to be called dogs or old women and not worthy to wear an eagle feather. Go my chiefs, gather all our tribes from the north to the farm south, from the Big Muddv to the Minnie Eaquie and have them gather here. When all are here White Goose, your chief, will lay plans before you that will crush our enemy. Ha Meado. (I have spoken).” When the tribes were all assem bled. after many councils and war dances, they advanced slowly as a great army toward the country of their enemv. Old Sentekoda soon learned of the!r advance and called all his peo le together and went to meet them confident that he cnuld arain lure them into •he forests as of before. But Old Man Maga Ska, rightly reading the mind of his enemies, forbade any of his warriors to pursue any of them into their territory in the small battle skirmishes that took place. The leading spirit of the fighting men was Unkatomie, the son of Moga Ska, and next in line for chief of the tribe. Not only was he a great warrior but he was a born leader. He was in charge of all the fighting men of his tribe and carried out the orders of his father faithfully. His medi cine was the tail feathers of ths woodpecker which the Great Spirit had laid on his eyes as he lay exhausted when undergoing County road crews were expected his fast and test for entrance into the ranks of the warriors.
