He became angry and put the blame on Paruksti, Western Storm, who carried the people in his whirlwind bag. Whenever he rested the people would emerge and hunt buffalo. Wolf Spirit sent down Wolf, who came along while Paruksti was asleep and stole the whirlwind bag. Then the people hunted some more, and Wolf shared the meat with them. Paruksti appeared and said, "People, that is Wolf!" They killed Wolf instead of just driving him away, which displeased the gods. They ordered the people to call themselves Skidi, Wolf-People, forevermore, and to keep the Wolf Spirit holy. The gods also said that by bringing death to the world, the people also brought death to themselves. The people who killed Wolf became wolves themselves.
Wolf rose into the heavens and became Star of
Deceiver Wolf, Tskirixki-tiuhats. He rises
before the morning star. The wolves, thinking
he is the morning star, howl to greet him!
