Snow Eagle
“Snow Eagle, Charging Elk, Walks Tall Woman and the others stopped for shelter in a mountain cave. A fire provided warmth and the smell of roasting rabbit filled the cave. Hungry stomachs growled; mouths salivated in anticipation.
Snow Eagle moved to the back of the cave, calmly communing with spirit. He was anxious to reach the sea and Little Fawn once more. He prayed that his clan was safe. Little Fawn would be upset when she learned that Gray Wolf and Songbird had remained with the Tagish. Sh...e missed Brave Beaver very much and now her other son was not coming home until they returned to the valley. Snow Eagle was satisfied with his meeting with Giant Bear. Now the Tlingit and Tagish would form a strong alliance. A new clan would be born with all of the memories of both ancient societies. The Tlingit believed that each person held the memories of all that had come before. Nothing was ever forgotten through the generations and the folklore and songs reinforced those memories. Although the Tlingit were much more powerful, the Tagish would contribute greatly to their prestige and power.MoreLess
