Chapter 4

Little Crow walked to Pete Chasing Horse's house and sat down on the steps with him.

"How's it?" asked Little Crow handing him some smokes.

"Pilamaya" (thank you)," Pete Chasing Horse said in the Lakota language.

"Things have changed, what's up?" asked Pete Chasing Horse.

"I think "ecktomy" is playing with me?" asked Little Crow.

"Most people thing of "ecktomy" as coming in a form of a spider, some offering of charliechapacto would be a good start and make some tobacco ties, if things don't get better, I'll hold a healing ceremony for. Remember human beings don't control anything, spirits do," said Pete Chasing Horse.

So he went home and did what Pete Chasing Horse asked him to do. Then he went into the living room and started watching the news.

"Well, do you feel better?" asked Rocky Crow.

"I don't know, we will see tomorrow I guess," said Little Crow.

"Washte" (good)," Rocky Crow said in the Lakota language.

"Well goodnight, school tomorrow," said Little Crow going into his room.

"Goodnight son," said Rocky Crow.

"Oh what are we going to do with him?" asked White Dove

"You can sell him, I wander how much you'd get over in Rapid," laughed Kicking Bird.

"Son," said Rocky Crow.

"He's your brother, what he needs to do is, spend more time with Grandfather," said White Dove.

"Yeah, that's true, but he is not going to do that, he likes doing things his way," said Kicking Bird. "He calls it the warriors’ way."

"Well to bad, he is going to do it whether he likes it or not," said White Dove.

"Alright let’s go to bed, it’s getting late," said Rocky Crow.

So they all went to bed.
