Question

When the waters were so mighty

As to reach the mountains high,

And it seemed that all creation

Surely then was doomed to die.

Answer 1

Answer ⤵️⤵️

When the waters were so mighty

As to reach the mountains high,

And it seemed that all creation

Surely then was doomed to die,

Came the turtle to our rescue,

Brought us safely unto land,

For the Manitou had sent him;

Now we’re called “The Turtle Clan.”

The Wolf band comes from children,

Whom a she-wolf nursed with care,

And thus restored the children

Who were giv’n up in despair.

Her wailing brought the hunters

To the babies where they lay;

So a band among the people

Is the Wolf Clan of to-day.

When the tribe was once in danger,

A wild turkey gave alarm,

And the warriors met the foeman

With the fury of a storm,

To a maiden, in a vision,

Did the turkey show the plan,

And we call all her descendants

To this day, the “Turkey Clan.”
