party. Then the leading men started with their peace-pipe for the
Ojibway camp, and when they were near at hand they fired three distinct
volleys, a signal of their desire for a peaceful meeting.
The response came in like manner, and they entered the camp, with the
peace-pipe in the hands of the prophet.
Lo, the stranger prophet advanced to meet them, and the people were
greatly struck with the resemblance between the two men, who met and
embraced one another with unusual fervor.
It was quickly agreed by both parties that they should camp together
for several days, and one evening the Sioux made a “warriors’ feast”
to which they invited many of the Ojibways. The prophet asked his twin
brother to sing one of his sacred songs, and behold! it was the very
song that he himself was wont to sing. This proved to the warriors
beyond doubt or cavil the claims of their seer.
