Two Wicasas, born in blood to a band that expected excellence in its members, excellence in its people for the Kaiila Isanna were proud people and they expected their oyate to live in an excellent manner. Life on the Voltai was harsh, it was the border land between the wasicu of Gor, and the incessant deluge of the Priest Kings immorality and offense to the very core of the heart of the people, the sacredness to the land, to each other and to the freedom of mind, body, spirit, for the Priest Kings were beings, that in boredom and greed, had tried to subdue man, woman and child, and even the blessed rock that they lived on, into submission, but the Oyate knew she had a heart..a core, beating, like the turtle This is the story of two men and their life on the Planet Gor, and how they protect the people that were transplanted here long ago, to eek out the free rights of all..."Let me be a free man".
Iktomi Isne "Trickster Who Stands Alone" Spider.....the War Chief of the Isanna, he defends what is his, for it is better to avoid war, then that it should bring it's head down on the Oyate, all actions, right or wrong, move down and out from the center of the man, like the trailings of fine silk from the spider's web moving out in concentric patterns, they can hold the Oyate together or they can entrap it, such is the nature of the double medicine. Watch as he grows and learns and finds himself, within his own battle for peace.
Born To Wambli Gleska and Wambli Wicasa, the past dead civil chief, he is a strong Akicita, but has lost much at the Battle of Little Stones, at Fort Haskins at the age of 12 on his first war coup against the encroaching military presence of the wasicu, did he loose his entire "war party" 15 warriors in all, lead by his father first as an advocate for treaty...was the treaty ended in blood shed, his inner turmoil, he struggles with failure as he came up into the decimation of that day, both sides lost, but he was the only one to make the long walk home.
Having strong visions, does he often fall between the world of spirit and the world he seeks solace in himself, for he fears what he touches is often taken.
Past master to the dead inahan Winyela, who carried his seed and betrothed to the fair indian maid and daughter to the Medicine chief of the Oyate, Henhapi Wi Cikala "Little Moon".

"Tatanka" Little Bull ~ Tatanka Cikala ~ second oldest son of Hota brother and "twin" to Heca Mahipiya Wolakta...Little Bull has shown much on how we can never judge a man by his name or his first circumstances, for a time his father failed in health, after an illness claimed his lodge and took much, he grew up in care of his family, while his oldest brother, held the tribal group together, during a courting battle over the beautiful Henhapi Wi, did the two brothers have to learn to get along....It was a wise decision that caused much great laughter in the tribal group tied together until they could learn to act as brothers, did Tatanka and Iktomi play out the roles of rivalry and growing friendship and mutal respect well. Iktomi was the eldest of the two but head strong, and angered much as he held much inside, Tatanka always wanting to best his brother had to learn from him, grow and in time as all young men do, he grew not only in strength, bravery and wisdom, but in stature...ever so much in stature.
Time moved on and the battle for Henhapi Wi ended, great mutual friendship and teasing was the constant banter between the two, often causing much chaos and witty times. But soon he found love in the beautiful Wakinyan, now the adopted sister of Iktomi...you can imagine, this did not sit well with Iktomi, for he never gave anything easily to his competitive brother.
Through many small coups, like the stealing of the young maids clothes during laundry and bathing day, the "coup of the fair young maids" to many battles and detentions of intruders along the ridges and the death of those that lay claim to that which only the creator could give or take away, to salt mine expeditions and much patrol work along the Pesla, in the winter of this year, did Little Bull shine brighter then he ever did as he gave his life for his people in the battle against Mato Ska Wakan. The Great White Holy Bear..the great hunter, that which keeps man in check, but who also suffered from the pangs of hatred towards the two leggeds.
