 Flying Stag was a member of the Wolf Clan in the 15th century.He was by far their best warrior and knew he'd be able to win the contest to become Royaneh, or Supreme Chief, of the Iroquois.Out of jealousy, Flying Stag's rivals trapped him in a pit where he prayed to the Great Spirit Manitou for help (the term "Manitou" is Algonquian).
