HOW MEDICINE CAME TO BE USED
Long, long ago, men and animals lived in great friendship together and could talk
each other's language, They could understand each other very well. However, there
were more and more people who took up more and more of the land so that the
poor animals had to go into the forests and desert places. Gradually friendship
ended between them and men began to make weapons to kill animals for their flesh
and skins.
At first, the animals were surprised that man could treat them in this way. Then the
animals got angry and decided they must do something about it.
So the Great Bear Tribe called a big meeting, which was presided over by their
chief, the Old White Bear. Many animals spoke of the cruel and terrible hunters
that men had become and they decided to make war upon mankind. But then they
realized that they did not have the same kind of weapons. It was suggested by one
of the bears that man's harmful instruments should be turned against man himself.
As it was with bows and arrows that man did his killing, the bears decided to make
a bow. When the bow was ready, it was discovered that the bears' claws caught in
the bowstring and spoiled the shooting. However one of the bears cut his claws and
managed to hit the mark. Then the Old White Bear pointed out that if they did not
have claws, they could not climb trees to get food, like honey, and would therefore
starve.
Now the deer also had a big meeting under their chief, the Little Deer. They
decided that any hunter who killed one of the deer tribe without asking pardon
should get very bad rheumatism as a punishment. They sent a special notice to the
nearest group of men, telling them what had been decided, and they sent instruc
tions how they were to ask pardon if it were absolutely necessary to kill one of the
deer. Thus, if a deer was killed, the Chief Little Deer would ask the spirit of the
dead deer if the hunter had asked for pardon before killing, If the answer was 'No', then the Chief would track the hunter to his cabin and strike him with rheumatism
so that he became a helplessly crippled man.
The fish and the reptiles also held a meeting all together. They decided to haunt
cruel hunters with dreadful dreams of serpents twining around them and dreams of
eating bad fish.
Then, finally, the birds and insects and all the smaller animals gathered together,
presided over by the Little Glowworm. They each had much to say against man
and they decided to strike mankind with other kinds of diseases.
During this time, the Plants, who were still friendly to man, heard what had been
arranged and decided to help human beings. So each tree, shrub and herb and all
grasses and mosses agreed to give a remedy for each of the diseases that were to
hurt mankind. So, when doctors wish to know what to prescribe, the Spirit of the
Plant suggests itself. When man has foolishly done wrong to his fellow creatures
and to himself, and so suffers, then there is medicine to heal and soothe.
