WOLF TEACHING'S

[Utcheii]

Here are the surviving versions of the Wolf Clan origins that have come
down to us:THE WOLF TEACHING'S HOOOOOWOOOOOOOOO!



Version 1. When Ma'una created this world he made four wolves: Blue Wolf,Black Wolf, White Wolf, and Gray Wolf.
The names of Blue Wolf and Black Wolf refer to the day and night skies respectively.
They were the ancestors of the present Wolf Clan.
Originally, all four of these wolves
lived on the surface of the earth, but later all except Gray Wolf went to live below ground, and now can only be seen on rare occasions. The offspring of the four wolves lived as animals, ignorant of both clothing and fire, but gradually they evolved into human beings. It is traditional in the Wolf Clan to name the first four sons after the first four wolves
created by Earthmaker. [6]

Version 2. There were four wolves who had a lodge in the middle of the ocean. Each had fur of a different color, so they were called White Wolf, Blue Hair (Hîtcoga), Gray Wolf, and Black Wolf. Each was married, and one of them had ten children, and the youngest of these and his wife
crossed over to the land. When they arrived, they saw a footprint of a bear,and they said, "Our friend has passed by." It is because they met there that the Wolf and Bear Clans love one another. They observed how the humans lived, and when they returned to their home in the middle of the ocean, they asked if they might not go and live with the humans. This they were granted, and they started out a second time, swimming to the shore, and as they left they generated two waves in front of them. As they swam
to the shore, they came singing. Because of the nature of these wolves, whenever the tribe comes to a stream and the wind is blowing hard, they call upon a Wolf clansmen to still the wind. Water is sacred to the Wolf clansmen. [7]

Version 3. The first wolf brother arose from the very bottom of the sea, and as they came to the surface, they swam to the shore singing. There they found the footprints of bears, and they said, "Our friends have passed by." This is why the Wolf Clan and the Bear Clan are friends. They set out for the meeting place where a black hawk was gathering together the clans of the Hotcâgara. When they had come together, the black hawk said, "It is complete." But the howl of a wolf was heard in the distance, and someone remarked, "We had forgotten him." So they went out and brought him in. [8]

Version 4. In the beginning there were four male and four female wolves. They arose from the middle of the sea and swam to the shore: this is why water is the sacred possession of the Wolf Clan. After they arrived on shore, they became human and built themselves a lodge, but they had no fire.One day, unexpectedly, Thunderbirds alighted on the oak tree opposite the lodge of the Wolves. Facing the Wolf lodge, the Thunderbirds built then own home. They would not enter the lodge of the wolf people out of fear. Only after much coaxing did the Thunderbirds finally pay them a visit, yet they would not stay the four days that the Wolves had requested. Instead, the Thunderbirds spent the time in their own lodge where they built a fire.
After four days the Thunders went back home. [9]

Version 5 (of the Thunderbird Clan). After the first four Thunderbirds had established their lodge, something strange was seen lurking outside the camp. The
Thunderbirds agreed that they would simply leave it alone.
Gradually it moved n nearer to the camp and began to feed on deer bones. The Thunders took it into their lodge and made it the Dog or Wolf Clan. They took one of the
dogs and gave him a message to take to Earthmaker, and dispatched it by killing him. The Thunderbird people were originally as powerful as the Thunderbirds of the heavens, and this is why their clan is first among those on earth. The Dog Clan, however, is the least of them. [10]
