![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One night he heard voices in the sky telling him to go to the hillside where he sees the sun set and he will find what he needs. He often looked at the colors of the sky and did not give up on this task. He struggled with finding the colors of the sunset. Little Gopher gathered flowers and berries to make his paints, and painted pictures of great hunts and great deeds. They told him to paint pictures of deeds of warriors, visions of the shaman, and a picture pure as the colors in the evening sky. The young Indian Maiden and the old grandfather in the clouds gave Little Gopher a rolled-up animal skin, a brush made of fine animal hairs, and pots of paints. When he grows a bit older, he goes to the hills alone to think about becoming a man. Little Gopher is upset in the beginning of the story because he is smaller then the other children and he can not keep up with their strength. ![]()
