The Holy Warrior
“Running Wolf had been slow to heal after his wrestle with the grizzly. The right side of his face was pulled up as a result of the terrible head wounds, and the scars from the stitches still showed white through the bronze of his skin, but he still had his scalp. The leg had healed slowly, and Chris spent many of the long winter days and nights in the injured warrior’s tepee, for the two had become fast friends.
Chris had brought in game with the long rifle when famine threatened to destroy... The People; this, along with his feat of killing the bear and stealing the medicine of Four Dog, had placed him in a peculiar position for a white man. The Sioux called themselves “The People” as if they were the only race in the world—as if none of the others really mattered. Chris had never heard of a white man being allowed to live in the Sioux society, although young white children were sometimes taken captive and allowed to be a part of a slave class. In any case, no one could remember a white eyes becoming one of The People as Chris had.MoreLess
