He was always tethered near by, ready for any emergency. "Ah, Wakan! we are once more called upon to do duty! We shall set out before daybreak." As he spoke, he pushed nearer a few strips of the poplar bark, which was oats to the Indian pony of the olden time.
His parents were often anxious, but, on the other hand, they entertained the hope that he would some day be "wakan," a mysterious or supernatural man, for he was getting power from his wild companions and from the silent forces of nature. One day, when he was about five years old, he gave a dance for his wild pets upon the little plateau which was still their home.
Both kinds may have a generic name, such as kalou, or wakan, but the specific distinction is universally made by low savages. On one hand, original gods; on the other, non-original gods that were once ghosts. It is part of my theory that the more popular ghost-worship of souls of people whom men have loved, invaded the possibly older religion of the Supreme Father.
The Past had grown white in the shadows of an all-enduring Present when the Chis-chis-chash began to hear vague tales from their traders of a mighty war-chief who had come down to the Shoshones from the clouds. He was a great "wakan" and he spoke the same language as the Chis-chis-chash.
