Shadow of the Wolf Page #3

---

I am Chief of police

of the Great Bay territory.

- You Kroomak?

- Yes, Kroomak.

I'm looking for one of

my man, Henderson.

- I do not know nothing.

- What about Brown?

Brown?

Oh yes, Brown,

he lived here.

One night, he get drunk,

there was a fire...

...and he burned to death.

My man was looking for him.

So, what can I do?

Stebbins!

I think we'll round up all the rifles

and put them on a plane!

No, you can not!

Yes, I can.

You people can't live

without us any longer.

You can't even remember how

to hunt without our rifles,..

...without our steel knives.

So I'm going to take

all the white man's weapons,..

...and I leave you the winter.

Unless you give me the man

that killed Henderson.

The people will talk together.

I'm warning you,..

... I'm not a patient man.

The "big bird" will

not leave us!

Let Kroomak give himself up

to the white man!

He killed Henderson.

What do I tell them?

What did your knife do

to Henderson?

What did you do with

the white man's liver?

What does Kroomak say?

I'll find many words...

...to say nothing.

My son.

My real son.

Mr. Scott!

Mr. Scott!

You can not take a rifles!

We'll die.

Listen to me,..

...I'll tell you.

A man lived here,..

...when Brown

died in the fire.

He lives out in the tundra.

- Maybe he knows.

- "Maybe he knows."

And you do not know.

But he is out there somewhere

where we can not find him.

I'll come with you,

in a big bird.

- I'll help you!

- We go tomorrow.

- Give the rifles back to us.

- No.

You lied to me.

Why didn't you tell me about

this man before?

He is my son.

Agaguk.

Tulugak!

Go tell Agaguk

to get away. Go!

To be a shaman,..

...you have to die.

You have to die,..

...and come to life again.

You must go back

to the top of the world.

If not, the big bird will

find you here tomorrow.

You must go.

I have to be back

before sunrise.

We must go back

to the camp.

It is for my father

to decide.

If Brown were alive,

would you kill him?

I'm not angry any more.

Pualuna was right.

There is no use killing

the white man.

- There are too many of them.

- Is that the only reason?

We must go on living,..

...and wait for

the white man to change.

Are you ready?

The tundra is a big place...

We may not find him.

That would be bad

luck for your people.

Who is this?

Is this Agaguk?

We knew a man

with that name.

He lived here with his father.

That man is dead.

This man has fought

the wolf.

The white wolf.

His soul has left his body

and returned.

I'm asking a simple question!

Is this your son?

This is my son!

He did not kill Henderson,

I killed him!

You killed Henderson?

Why?

He came with the

white man law.

This is Inuit land!

No.

Henderson was killed

because he found about Brown.

Do not say anything.

You do not have to protect me!

I protect our people.

You are the shaman now, my son.

You are my son.

My real son.

I asked you a question!

I want to know about Brown.

I killed Brown!

He cheated my people!

He sold them liquor

to destroy their hearts!

He was no good!

Well then...

On your confession,

I am arresting you...

...for the murder of the man Brown

and the officer Henderson.

Anything you wanna say?

Put him on the plane.

Policeman.

You should not punish a shaman

for protecting his people.

The Inuit will

not live by your law.

You have no choice.

Will you make the wind live

by your law?

The snow, the wolf,

the great whale?

We are all children of the Earth

and we should live by her laws.

I dreamed that I fly

in the big bird.
