Great Black-Hawk

From: Great Black Hawk (K'eredjusep Xetera) by Richard L. Dieterle
(NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURE/HISTORY/FOLKLORE)

"Part of the superiority of the black hawk resides in its speed. It is probably for this reason that a black hawk was among those selected to be messengers to the spirits of the Upper World when Hare called a general council to find a means to restore Red Star. In a race among the spirits, Black Hawk was out in front. In a great contest between a number of Good Spirits and the Giants, one of the competitions was a race. The two Giants in this race would change themselves into fleet animals, while their competitor would change himself into a similar but faster animal. The Giants changed into pigeon hawks, but the Good Spirit turned himself into a black hawk who eventually won the race. The Good Spirit turned out to be Wind, the fastest of all things in nature. The black hawk is not only noted for speed, power, and agility, but for being able to climb to great altitudes."
