Two Turtle and the Camel War Legend of Black Arrow
A Cree tale from the 1860s follows Two Turtle, a fading war chief, who gains fame by leading a Piegan party on a horse stealing raid. He borrows a camel, stamps the Crow pursuit, and returns in triumph, only to lose the camel to a drunken trapper. Two Turtle later spins a camel skin diploma to seal his legend.
