It was shortly after the ordeal that Sixapo renewed his friendship with

the beautiful widow, Pretty Wolverine Woman. They had known each

other for years, since she was a child as Sixapo was older than she. Now

the relationship took on a different aspect, one of love, respect and

devotion. Sixapo respected Pretty Wolverine Woman’s courage and

medicine power. He was in the sacred men’s society, the Horn Society,

and she was honored in the sacred women’s society, the Buffalo Society.


The double jeopardy aspect of Pretty Wolverine Woman’s ordeal came

into play when a reporter from New York City, U.S.A. arrived at the trial

to report something of interest of the city folks back home. Many

caucasians were interested in the situation with the Indians, some

compassionate some the opposite. But his agenda was to sell newspapers

so he misrepresented the trial completely. The evidence was clear that

Pretty Wolverine Woman was innocent of any activity or action that

would have caused the very sick and inebriated man to take those lives.


Knowing no-one from NYC would fact check his information, he told a

tale of an adulteress who cheated on her husband and drove him to

insanity causing the horrendous events to transpire. Many of the Kainai tribal members learned of that report and believed it.


There were many who shunned Pretty Wolverine Woman and many who

feared her due to her powerful position in the Buffalo Society. It was a

fear of many that to interact with any of the men and women in either

sacred society in a negative way would cause the member to use their

power to cause them to cease to exist. Unfortunately, Pretty Wolverine

Woman was not truly vindicated within the tribe.


But justice did prevail in her life as she married Sixapo and their union

brought them great happiness, family, abundance, greater spiritual

empowerment, and many years of a loving devoted relationship.
