"Years ago, we were having problems with murders within the surrounding communities. Not only within the tribe, but in the white settlements, as well," Dad said, continuing his story. "These murders were so brutal and heinous that everyone thought it was a wild animal, maybe rabid, who was committing the murders. The being would eat its victims, literally tearing their bodies limb from limb, ripping the flesh from their bones, and drinking their blood.
"People began looking for the animal that might be doing this. The pack feared that we would be discovered and blamed for these atrocious crimes, even though we were innocent. Of course, the pack looked for the animal, too, hoping to put an end to the horrid crimes and return our village and the surrounding communities to peace once again.
