The Legend of Rainbow Girl

By

Cameron (Dives Like Dolphin) and Rebecca (Dolphin Girl)

Many moons and suns ago, there was a tribe named the Buffalo Tribe. One night the buffalo ran away. The next day when the hunters woke up, they did not see the buffalo. They told the tribe. They sent out their best braves to find this beast of the plain. They found nothing. Suffering from their hunger, the children were cranky.
A week later a girl named White Cloud had a dream. She dreamed that she could walk across the rainbow to the buffalo spirits. The next day she saw the rainbow. She walked across the rainbow and talked with the buffalo spirits. They told the girl where the buffalo were. She went back to the tribe. She told the hunters where the buffalo were. Even though the braves did not want to believe her, they followed her instructions, and, much to their surprise, a huge herd of buffalo galloped in front of them. They were excited and relieved.
From then on, White Cloud was called Rainbow Girl.
