He had lost all but had gained much. It took him a long time to recover from the mauling that left his face disfigured and his body broken. He later learned of his mate’s miscarriage and soon after lost her as well.
His name was changed from Long Spear to Broken Spear
Unable to hunt with no family support it seemed his life was over.
He knew he was at the bottom. His body was broken and so was his will.
Then he found that he was able to see through the eyes of the soaring eagle and hawk. He was able to see the herds of buffalo as well as the location of the very dangerous predators.
He began to share this information with hunt teams.
His abilities soon made him sought out by hunt leaders. His coaching was paid back with food.
He was made the Seer of the clan.
He entered into exchanges with the Ancients. They told him that a future leader would come at a time of the clan’s dire need and guide the clan to new prosperity.
The day was clear. A white swan swam gracefully on a small oblong lake. The surrounding mountains graced with a dark green ribbon of pine surrounded a valley where a large group of people had gathered.
The eagle clearly saw the swan and then focused solely on an object on what Broken Spear recognized as a naming hide.
He tried to get a better look at the people. The eagle would only focus on what Broken Spear took to be the claw of an eagle.
He watched as a small hand picked up the claw and held it to the sky.
The eagle let out a cry, folded its wings and took a dive that had him holding tight. He was not sure he would survive but at the last moment the eagle spread its wings as it took the claw from the small hand and with a loud cry rose back into the sky.
The eagle accompanied by the white swan flew on circle around the valley and then flew away.
Broken Spear knew that the young boy would in time come to lead his clan but he had no idea when that would happen. He would need more guidance from the Ancients.
For the near future he would need to guide his clan as best he could.
