 An Apache Legend Tells Of Wind Dancer, A Young Warrior, Who Was Born Deaf, But Could Sing Magical, Wordless Songs That Brought Healing And Good Weather. He Married Bright Rain, A Beautiful, Young Woman Whom He Rescued When She Was Being Attacked By A Wolf.

 Wind Dancer Was Killed During Another Errand Of Mercey. A Bitter, Death-Bring Winter Ensued, But It Suddenly And Mysteriously Ended After Bright Rain Started Taking Solitary Walks.

 Tribal Elders Learned Wind Dancer Had Come Back To Her In The Form Of A Hummingbird. He Wore The Same Ceremonial Costume And War Paint He Had Worn As A Man. In Fields Of Spring Flowers He Would Approach Her And Whisper His Magical Secrets In Her Ear. This Brought Her Peace And Joy.
