Wakpa Minisota! Jerome Dewolfe

Wakpa Minisota! focuses upon the power of love, prayer, and spiritualism to overcome the ravages of fear, hatred, and war. Wayuhi saw the great tenebrous form of Uktehi emerge from the depths of the lake. It stood looking at him with its big shaggy ears standing straight outward giving it the illusion of even greater size with water dripping profusely from its long curved white-ivory tusks as it raised its great trunk and blew water into the sky then emitted a deep infrasonic sound that Wayuhi could not hear but could feel in his bones. The sound created a circle of vibratory waves on the water emanating from the monolith that Wayuhi felt as soothing timbres of empathy, a feeling of pure deep love filled his body. As the immense Wooly Mammoth turned and submerged back into the depths of the lake, Wayuhi saw the ephemeral image of the Ancient Ones who had taken the form of Uktehi as he heard them say, "These are the Ways of the Isati Warrior, the true path to freedom!" When all was gone, he could once again see the reflection on the lake of the Land Beyond and the dark blanket-shrouded shadows of his people as they walked toward the campfires of the Wanai Taaku-Ghost Road, called the Milky Way by the Waiu.
