The Great Hunt

The Great Hunt is a time when a boy becomes a man and shows that he can provide for a family and take a bride of his choosing. All except Chief Black Stone's eldest. He only had daughters, with the exception of his eldest daughter who was born different from other women. She was neither man nor woman but both. All woman except for her lower genitalia that was male. Johana (Jo-ha-na) was to see the Shaman and see what was to be done. If Johana was to go on the hunt or something else that the great spirit has decided for her. The Shaman announces that she will go on a spirit hunt instead of the Great Hunt. She will find what the Great Spirit has planned for her. How she is to lead the tribe forward and who is the one she is to take as a mate for the rest of her life. Johana goes on her hunt with just the basic of weapons to prove she can survive and provide for someone. She is shown great visions of the tribe's future and how to solve some of the politics of the tribe. Just before she is to return home she is shown who she will marry and how Johana must rescue this woman by herself and introduce her to the tribe and the reasons the Great Spirit has blessed them with this woman.
