THE MAGICAL HEAD
DRESS
Long ago there was a 65 year old man
named The Great Beader. He beaded a lot of nice head dresses for
great chiefs and warriors.
One day The Great Beader and his
grandson, Running Deer, went out on a camping trip. The Great Beader
told many legends. One of them was about how a great chief survived
without any food for one week. It went like this.
One day a great chief named Faded
Flower went out with a couple of his men. They went out on the rough
water to hunt for fish, birds and animals because the tribe was
almost out of food. But the two men fell out of the canoe and
drowned. After five days had passed the chief himself had caught a
lot of fish and birds. But he didn't eat them because he was thinking
mainly about his people. Then he made a big head dress to wear for
when he brought the food to his people. This was so the food would
not spoil. The next day he got home and shared the food with his
people. After The Great Beader told the story, his grandson, Running
Deer, asked how to make a head dress.
The Great Beader then took out his
pack and started making a head dress. By the next couple of days he
had already put the feathers on the skin. On the third day he started
beading the head dress. The Great Beader then said to Running Deer, "You must
finish beading this head dress. If you finish it by
tomorrow it will be yours."
"I will try my best to finish beading
,"
replied Running Deer. And the
whole night long Running Deer stayed up. By the next day he had
finished the head dress and he showed it to his
grandfather.
That night, the Great Beader talked
to Running Deer's spirits and asked them to give the head dress magic
powers so that Running Deer would be a great hunter. The next day he
gave the head dress to Running Deer.
After Running Deer received this
magic gift he had much luck. He married a beautiful girl and became a
great hunter, warrior, and, after his grandfather died, the chief of
his people. He always had good luck hunting for his tribe.
