Long ago before the white man came to the land, there was an Indian brave named Black Cloud. The Great Spirit had blessed Black Cloud with many gifts. Black Cloud was the strongest, fastest, handsomest brave in all the land. His voice was wonderful to hear and his skill with the bow amazing to see. Tales of his greatest spread far and wide until no brave dared challenge Black Cloud in battle or in sport. Black Cloud did not listen to all the praise, but instead walked humbly and was always kind. The Great Spirit looked down and smiled at Black Cloud for he was good.
