Teewahpanyee The Boy, Two Feathers The Man : The New Life Series

Teewahpanyee was just thirteen when he left his village for a three day journey that would prove his survival skills. He was to hunt and provide his own food, water and shelter. "Be sure you find shelter." That was his father's advice. "If you can, bring back a large deer. It will bring you honor."His mother had taken special care to oil his skin and groom his jet black hair. He proudly wore his spirit pouch that she had made. It was beautifully beaded and fringed and lay against his bare chest. He walked his paint mare through the village toward the woods. The people applauded and called his name. He couldn't know that it was the last time he would ever see them alive. As he sat near his fire he was given further advice, by a large spirit lion. "Teewahpanyee, you must return to your village. You are needed there. Do not fear. I will be with you." Both his mind and heart told him that the message was authentic. He hurried his horse back. He was shocked by what he saw. A young girl hidden in the brush along the small stream held a small boy. They were the only survivors. In the days that followed the people of their camp were respectfully placed on a funeral pyre. It was kept burning. They chose new names and were the beginning of The People of the Lion. On the shore of a lake they survived the winter and planned their future. They would find their way to the Summer Council. It was filled with adventures they couldn't imagine, as excitement and drama brought them to a positon of leadership.
