_(War Chief and the Hunters leap suddenly from ambush. Sun Man warns Sea Cunies not to resist. War Chief captures and holds Sun Man, and Sea Cunies are similarly captured and held. Women and boys appear, and examine prisoners curiously.)_ {War Chief} Hoh! Hoh! Hoh! I have captured the Sun Man! Like the foxes, I have captured the Sun Man!--Deer Foot! Elk Man! The foxes held the Sun Man. I now hold the Sun Man. Then can you hold the Sun Man. _(Deer Foot and Elk Man seize the Sun Man.)_ {Red Cloud} _(To Shaman.)_ He said he came in kindness. {War Chief} _(Sneering.)_ In kindness, with the thunder in his hand. {Shaman} _(Deflected to partisanship of War Chief by War Chief's success.)_ By his own lips has he said it, with the thunder in his hand. {War Chief} You are the Sun Man. {Sun Man} _(Shrugging shoulders.)_ My names are many as the stars. Call me White Man. {Red Cloud} I am Red Cloud, the first man. {Sun Man} Then am I Adam, the first man and your brother. _(Glancing about.)_ And this is Eden, to look upon it. {Red Cloud} My father was the Coyote. {Sun Man} My father was Jehovah. {Red Cloud} I am the Fire-Bringer. I stole the fire from the ground squirrel and hid it in the heart of the wood. {Sun Man} Then am I Prometheus, your brother. I stole the fire from heaven and hid it in the heart of the wood. {Red Cloud} I am the Acorn-Planter. I am the Food- Bringer, the Life-Maker. I make food for more life, ever more life. {Sun Man} Then am I truly your brother. Life-Maker am I, tilling the soil in the sweat of my brow from the beginning of time, planting all manner of good seeds for the harvest. _(Looking sharply at Red Cloud's skin garments.)_ Also am I the Weaver and Cloth-Maker. _(Holding out arm so that Red Cloud may examine the cloth of the coat)_ From the hair of the goat and the wool of the sheep, and from beaten and spun grasses, do I make the cloth to keep man warm. {Shaman} _(Breaking in boastfully.)_ I am the Shaman. I know all secret things. {Sun Man} I know my pathway under the sun over all the seas, and I know the secrets of the stars that show me my path where no path is. I know when the Wolf of Darkness shall eat the moon. _(Pointing toward moon.)_ On this night shall the Wolf of Darkness eat the moon. _(He turns suddenly to Red Cloud, drawing sheath-knife and passing it to him.)_ More, O First Man and Acorn-Planter. I am the Iron-Maker. Behold!
