The tribal chief was gravely ill.

The shaman had done all he could

To try to heal the chief but still

The shaman's efforts did no good.

And so the shaman went to find

The bison, who spirits had told,

Had the knowledge within its mind

Of curing herbs it could unfold.

The shaman found the bison and

Was allowed by the bison to

Place on its head the shaman's hand.

Then knowledge flowed between the two.

The herbs the bison would reveal

To the shaman, the chief to heal.
