Question

In a story collected by Ella Deloria, a race that becomes these animals uses a bundle of relics called “the knot in the tree” to hunt humans. The Mosairu Kachina resembles an anthropomorphic one of these animals. After these animals seemingly disappear, two men head south and encounter a waka figure named for them, who floats above the ground. Crows would warn these animals of the approach of humans according to a legend of the (10[1])(*) Blackfeet. A maiden who brought one tribe the (10[1])Seven Sacred Rites is named for her transformation into a white and young (10[1])one of these (-5[1])animals. After gathering their bodies from “jumps” like Head-Smashed-In, groups like the Arapaho would utilize all parts of their bodies. For 10 points, name these large mammals that feature in stories about hunting told by the Lakota and (10[1])Sioux. ■END■
