Former School Teacher
To Teach Here Again
The Legend of the Pipestone
(Continued)
In the preceding chapter the
two great armies of the Plains
People and the Forest People were
drawn up in battle array a few
miles from each other, each await
ing a move by the enemy.
The Forest People sent the
bears to charge the enemy camps
at night and stampede their horses.
But the Plains People enlisted the
badgers to help. They dug holes
and lay in wait. When the bears
charged they grabbed them by
the foot and held on. Anyone who
ever tried to pull a badger from
his hole knows it cannot be done,
that you might as well try to pull
up the earth. The Forest People
swarms then sent the eayles to
make excursions over the enemy’s
camp to spy on them but they
were set upon by swarms of king
birds, who were helping the Plains
People, who pecked all t’.ie feathers
from their heads. This so fright
ened and shamed the eagles that
their heads turned white. Ever
afterwards they were known as the
bald-headed eagle. To this day
the king-birds will always attack
an eagle whenever they see one.
Day after day the skirmishing
and fighting kept on. The war
drums boomed continually and far
into the night the tom-toms sound
ed as the warriors made their
medicine. Old Sentekoda had no
son, but a b-autiful daughter. She
was called Mechincha Kachisa or
battle girl and was always with
her father, even in battle, It was
said that her medicine was so
strong that the arrows of the
Plains warriors bounced off her
breast.
The Ind ans place physical cour
age and t..e ability to withstand
pain above all else. The old story
teller told of a Plains People war
rior who was captured bv the
Forest Peoprle and burned at the
stake.
was a great warrior
and as the fire arose and licked
at his body he taunted and re
viled his enemies with his last
breath, called them squaw war
riors, told them that their fire
was not hot, put on some more
wood, when we capture some of
you we will show you a hot fire.
As he chanted his death song
he held his head high to the laBt.
Even the old story teller paused
to pay a tribute to this young
brave; chante nena suta he said,
(he had a strong heart).
Old Sentekoda, exasperated by
not being able to entice the Plains
warriors into the forests, resolved
to risk a battle. He attacked at
daybreak with great force. But
old Moga Ska was expecting such
a move and had his son, Unka-
tomie, ready and waiting with his
warriors. Instead of the surprise
they anticipated, the Forest People
charge was met half way by the
full force of the Plains warriors.
This was the greatest battle known
at this time.
Thousands were
killed on both sides. Unkatomie
fought as he never had before; no
one could withstand the force of
his mighty war club that struck
down his enemies till they fell
back, tumbling over one another
in their efforts to escape his fury.
His war whoop and woodpecker
call sounded high above all others
and put a superstitious fear into
their hearts, but cheered on his
own warriors to greater deeds of
valor. High above him all the

time was his little friend, the
woodpecker, but such was fury of
the battle that clouds of dust arose
and he lost sight of him and be
came seperated from his warriors.
Suddenly he found himself sur
rounded by a score of the Forest
warriors. Nothing daunted, Unke-
tomie attacked, striking right and
left so fast that his enemies could
not follow his movements. Unka
tomie was victorious, but was
severly wounded during the fray.
He then called his little feathered
friend to him and snlashed his
head with blood from the wounds
in his own breast so he could better
see him and tell him from all
other birds. Ever since that day
wc have had the red-headed wood
pecker.
