Years ago a young maiden befriended a baby moose, she would secretly play with the young bull moose, at the out skirts of the village, unbeknown to her parents. They became inseparable. One day the big moose did not come when she called, the little girl was heart broken, she told her Dad who was the best hunter in the village, no one could find the moose.The little girl grew up a Princess in her tribe. One snowy winter she got lost by accident in the snow. She was freezing to death, suddenly she began to feel warm and began to think of her first love, her baby bull moose, she was in-fact freezing to death! Suddenly out of the blizzard came a huge bull moose , the moose wrapped its big frame around the dying Princess, the bull, was saving her. A huge search party which was launched from the village was slowly making its way closer and closer to the two, in the blinding blizzard, when they came so close that they could see, they found the sleeping Princess and huge Moose tracks leading away from her. The Bull left her when he knew she was saved. Her prized Bull Moose had returned to save her from a wintry grave. The Princess says her prayers nightly and always says one for her free roaming giant! by Robert E Sebastian Gitxsan Tribe
