To the Indian, Wapiti was good medicine.
Among the tribes he was revered; a symbol of nobility, pride and passion.
He was thought to be endowed with medicinal and romantic powers. He
was credited with the creation of the earth, the power of speech and the
ability to summon the gods and winds for assistance. Warrior societies
were named after him. He was seen in visions and men took their names
from him."
