Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Gay Waters: Including the Wicota
Of the convert's initiation into the mysteries, the same author states that after the convert has had a vision of an elk, a hawk, or a bear, and after he has spoken to the old man belonging to the proper society, it becomes the duty of the youth to travel until he shall meet the animal he saw in his vision, when he shall slay it and preserve either the whole or a portion. This trophy becomes the visible sign of his vision, and is the most sacred thing he can possess.
