The adults and children are gathered together under the stars for story time. The fires burn bright and
the warmth and scent is comforting. Our People revere those with the gift of storytelling.
It is how our knowledge of Creation and our history is preserved and carried down through the generations.
Women have always been powerful leaders, healers, and protectors in equal partnership with men. All
children are adored and given much leeway to learn our ways with communal love and patience.
We live in nature and are ONE with nature. All life we take is for our survival (food, clothing, teepees)
and is prayed over and given thanks for giving their life for us. It is never done just for sport.
And now we will hear the story of “The Vision Quest.”
“Grandfather, White Bull and I have packed our ponies for our journey to the Sacred Site of the caverns,”
stated Little Fawn. “I’m almost ready Grandfather,” added White Bull. Grandfather let out a hearty laugh,
for it was well known that White Bull’s “time” was being late or really late. Why is Little Fawn coming
with us anyway?’ Grandfather gave his special “look” and said, “Because I want her to also experience a
vision. I am a Warrior Chief and Shaman (Healer) and we shall see if one or both of you has the Gift.”
Excitedly, White Bull asked what the Gift was that is so special. “It is the gift of Leadership,” answered
Grandfather.
Grandfather got on his horse and the three of them rode slowly and in silence to admire the the wildlife.
Grandfather thought to himself that Little Fawn and White Bull would be powerful together and it was
prophesy! They were not siblings, everyone in the tribe called him “Grandfather” out of respect for
his wisdom, loyalty, and sense of humor.
White Bull asked Little Fawn if she was afraid to go into the caverns to receive her vision. “Yes, I am a
little fearful but to actually receive a vision is beyond my wildest dreams. How about you White Bull,
are you a fearless warrior?”, asked Little Fawn. “It is wise to proceed with a little caution to determine
your course of action. To go blindly into any battle is futile and dangerous to yourself and others.”
“White Bull and Little Fawn, I am so proud of you and know that you are ready for this personal spiritual
experience. You will receive great knowledge that will benefit you and our People if you are successful.
Fish, jerky, and your favorite corn muffins Little Fawn, will be enjoyed after your vision quest,”
promised Grandfather.
“Into the darkness and out to the Light, stay safe,” said Little Fawn to White Bull. “You as well, I so
admire your courage Little Fawn.” Grandfather couldn’t help thinking that in a few years White Bull would be admiring her more feminine attributes, also. A baby girl, to be named “White Fawn”, was part of
Grandfather’s Vision Quest when he was a boy. White Bull plus Little Fawn could equal “White Fawn”?
It is prophesy that she will lead the tribe to the Golden Age of Peace and Love. “Go now, I will be here
protecting you with my Light. Little Fawn is to enter the closest cavern and White Bull’s cavern is just
beyond it. Shield yourselves with rainbow light dear ones. After entering the cave of darkness, keep
going until you see a beam of Light, then step into the Light for your Vision.”
As she entered the cavern Little Fawn’s mind began racing with unwelcome thoughts. I’m hungry, tired,
and this is the scariest place I’ve ever been in, and worst of all, I am by myself. What if I don’t

I don’t want to shame my
family. Wait a minute! I must STOP these thoughts NOW. Our People are loving and compassionate and
would never be cruel and demeaning if I failed, as long as I tried my best.
“Very good Little Fawn” (is a voice I heard in my head), You are almost to the Light Column, please step
into the Column.” “Yes, I will, replied Little Fawn. I see the Light now. The lights are very bright
and colorful and I feel like I’m floating. My body is totally relaxed and my mind is calm. I send out a
thought to the Light, “I am open and receptive to all that is good.” Now I see fast moving images—
I am being shown multiple choices I could make and what would happen if I made those choices.
There is one particular vision that makes my heart sing with joy. The other visions are quite nice but
this one I would choose above the others. I see a happy and wonderful life with White Bull and then
the birth of our baby girl. I receive a thought that White Bull is seeing his multiple choices and
outcomes for his life and that he will be choosing what he want the most. The choices between us must be
a match for them to come true. I want him but he must also want me. If they don’t match, other options are always available since many paths lead to the ultimate result which is love and joy. My mind
understands this but my heart desires White Bull,” declares Little Fawn.
As he entered the cavern, White Bull’s mind began racing with unwelcome thoughts. Fear of failure was the
most dominant thought. The more he tried to be brave and fight his fear, the stronger the fear became.
His heart was beating fast, he was gasping for air, and sweating profusely. Then, his Higher Self told
him to Breathe Deeply, in and out, until he was calm. Ignore your fear and it will go away. Focus, focus,
focus on any pleasant thoughts or even just chanting “Peace Be Still.” White Bull felt his fear subside and was shown several choices he could make for a Life Mate, and what would happen if he made those choices. One woman was beckoning his heart, mind, and soul. He wanted her more than any other woman he
was shown. This woman to be, now still so young, was his beloved Little Fawn. He saw their baby daughter
and his heart melted with joy. He also knew that Little Fawn must want him for this to be so.
Little Fawn and White Bull exited the caverns and returned to Grandfather smiling with hand in hand.
Grandfather joyfully announced that this was a match made in Heaven and that their baby girl would be
named, “White Fawn!!!” She would lead the People to many bright and happy new dawns!!!
