Daughter of the Sun


It was evening time when the seven warriors came to the spirit land. 
The spirits had already begun their dances. 
Many spirits were gathered at the stomp ground. 
As they were dancing, the warriors saw the Daughter of the Sun
dancing in the outer ring of dancers. 
The warriors were prepared to make the capture of the young girl. 
She continued to dance around the fire and one of the warriors struck
her with his sourwood stick that each warrior was given by the little people. 
Contiuing to dance, the next warrior struck her. 
The seventh time she came around the circle the last warrior
struck her with his stick and she went down. 
They put her in a box, shut the lid, and started their journey home.
