Long ago, when the world was young, the storytellers say, an Iroquois youth went hunting with his bow and arrow. All at once he heard voices drifting up from the bottom of a dark ravine. Peering down, he saw two tiny men no taller than his shinbone. He offered them a squirrel he had a shot; they, in turn, invited him to dinner.
Back at their village, the Little People fed the young hunter corn soup from a bowl that never emptied, and they gave him a round of white stone as a hunting charm. Then they summoned their kinsmen to a great feast.
Soon the tribe had gathered to burn tobacco and perform the sacred rite of the Dark Dance. The youth looked on in wonder, learning to mimic their chants and gestures, which he later taught to his own people.
When it came time to leave, his hosts made a promise: In exchange for gifts of tobacco(which they prized) the Little People would come to feast with the Iroquois, gracing the Iroquois rituals with their invisible presence whenever the drums of the Dark Dance began to sound.
