=== Urasmaran Niniwāzintaheknesuš (I Will Shoot the Stars for You) ===
=== Kaymawākan ===
This epic Wolf Speaker song tells the story of Kaymawākan, the Ghost Deer.  He died many years ago, when he was a doe who had given birth to a fawn.  A hunter slew her daughter, an egregious act of ''innūy''.  She died of heartbreak, but rather than returning to the ''Turħatūman'', the Spirit World, she roamed the earth in mourning.  One day she vowed revenge, and she twisted the smoke<ref>A shamanic ritual whereby the shaman lights a fire and moves their hand through the smoke as if weaving.</ref> and transformed into a mighty buck.  From that point on, he pursued hunters who intruded into his realm, the mighty mountains of the Kilmay Rī.  To this day, Wolf Speakers come upon frozen corpses with multiple stab wounds, the snow around them stained with bloody hoof prints.

Translation
---------------------
Among these mountains I walk this path
In the deep snow
In the depths of the forest
Where the pines grow thick;
The land sleeps
Under this white blanket.
 
Then I see your tracks,
You walked this path not long ago;
You strike my curiosity;
Why are you following me?
I ask myself where you are,
A question only these trees can answer.
 
A rustle alerts me,
I turn in the direction
Where I first heard you;
I sense your presence
Although I cannot see you,
I know you are here.
 
I ready myself
I ready my weapons;
I have honed them meticulously,
I have honed each their killing edge;
That which bleeds shall not survive
These sharpened edges.
 
In your overconfidence
You foolishly reveal yourself,
But you walk these woods
Not knowing the dangers
That await you in the forest,
Thus you slip on the ice.
 
I seize this opportune advantage
You foolishly granted me,
Your weapons are now scattered
Spread across the snow;
You run to reclaim them
But it is too late for you.
 
I give chase,
You cannot outrun me;
You stumble and fall,
Now I stand over you;
I plunge down my weapons,
They pierce your heart.
 
You crawl away,
Your blood spills,
It colors the snow red;
I charge at you again,
I stab you once again,
Then I step back and watch.
 
Your bow lies here
And your arrows lie there,
But I still hold onto my weapons;
I shake them at you
As you give me the deathstare;
My antlers dripping with your blood are the last thing you see.
