How will the Creator help solve the problem?

As the smoke rose up into the sky, he spoke his words to Kitselemukong. “Great Mystery,” Two Hawks Flying said, “you are the one who made all things. You are the one who said that we should all live together and respect each other. But the Yakwawiak have forgotten your words. They wish to kill all of the other beings in the world. Help us, Creator, or we will all be destroyed.”

Kitselemukong saw that this could not continue and decided to take pity on the people.

A great light appeared in front of Two Hawks Flying.

“Hear me,” said a voice from within that light, which was Kitselemukong. “I will help you. Call all of the people and the animals together. Have them gather here at dawn.”

“I will do as you say,” said Two Hawks Flying.

Then he went to speak to the people and all of the other animals.

“Kitselemukong has told me that all of us must come together in council,” Two Hawks Flying said. Everyone who heard him, both the humans and the animals, knew that his words were true, and they began to gather.

The wolf and the bear, the moose and the mountain lion, the lynx and the wolverine, the elk and deer and all of the other animals, including many whose names are now forgotten, came together. The human beings came from their hiding places in the caves and joined them. They all gathered on the mountaintop where Two Hawks Flying had prayed.

“You must drive the Yakwawiak from the land,” the voice of Kitselemukong said from within that great glowing light. “They have forgotten to respect other beings. Now you must all join together and make war on them.”

So the people and all of the animals began to make war on the Yakwawiak. Side by side, they marched together toward the Yakwawiak, but the Yakwawiak were waiting. The earth shook under their feet as they charged, and the fight began.
