Once there was a time when all the animals got along in harmony. One day a mother mountain lion went out to scavenge for food. She came back empty pawed. She explained how it's all vegetarian food. The mother bear said she will find them food to fest upon. she also came back empty pawed. She too said the same thing as the mother mountain lion. Once the mother's figured out that all they will eat is leaves unless they ate each other, the confronted the leader of all animals, the Eagle. The Eagle agreed upon eating each other to survive. All the animals ran, finding where they belong to settle down till their time comes. The mountain lion found an elk roaming, and went off to catch it. Once she caught the elk, she killed it. The sky started to grow dark and a light came out of the elk and into the sky. The mother mountain lion seen a stream of light cross the sky. She than say the spirits of the ancestors from long before them in the stream of light. Looking back down upon the elk, she see's the spirit of the elk run to the stream of light full of their ancestors. Once the elk reached them, the light faded away. The Eagle than emerged from the darkness. The Eagle explained that once their time comes, they too will join their ancestors in the stream of light that flows through the sky. But we must respect the dead in order to join the ones we love or be kept on Eath to live in misery.
