The Indian Brave and the Princess



Long years ago there was an Indian brave known as Bright Eagle.
The princess was so beautiful and so rare who's name was Pearl.
They lived on the reservation and was of course from the same tribe.
In the nighttime the two had got together as lovers do .
They had wanted to spend the rest of their lives together as only they could.
But the Chief was against them and forbade them being together.
They had an arranged marriage for Pearl to a man she didn't love.
In the end, Pearl took her own life and Bright Eagle had gone to his happy hunting ground before she passed away.
Legend tells of the two meeting upon the mountain overlooking the reservation.
It is there you will hear the sounds of Pearl and Bright Eagle in mourning for the other.
When the sun reappears the sound from the mountain will stop.
Until the next full moon comes for it is so in that time you will hear them again.
