Zuni Wolf Fetish

thingiverse

In ancient times, all beings belonged to one family, Póshaiank'ia, the father of our sacred bands. He lived with his children in the City of Mists, the central hub of Medicine societies worldwide. A great sea surrounded each region, and at its center stood a very old sacred place, Téthläshinakwïn - a majestic mountain peak. The North boasted Mountain Yellow, while the West featured Mountain Blue. In the South was Mountain Red, and in the East, Mountain White. Above them all stood Mountain All-color, and below, Mountain Black. The White Wolf received special treatment: "You possess a stout heart and strong will," Póshaiank'ia declared. "Therefore, I appoint you guardian and master of the East." His coat was white and gray, reminiscent of daybreak and dawn. The White Wolf's task was to guard against evil's arrival from the East, receive messages sent by his children, and become a Maker of Paths in their lives. Frank Hamilton Cushing documented this story in "Zuni Fetishes."
