It’s a quiet evening in the prairie•. Chief Strong Buffalo and Chief Wise Owl are sitting round a fire. “My people are great hunters•. They can find fish in the riverand animals in the woods and on the prairie. They speak the language of the trees and the flowers. And they know the names of all the stars,” says Chief Strong Buffalo. For a long time, the two mendon’t speak. Chief Wise Owl looks up at the sky. He can see the stars and the moon and the silver clouds. He can feel the wind on his face. He can hear the distant• cry of a coyote•. Then he looks intoStrong Buffalo’s eyes for a long time. “My people,” Wise Owl says, “always tell the truth”.
