Holders of the Earth

When a young Crow baby was lost, he was taken in by the Holders of the Earth and named Black Arrow. He made sure that these beings, also known as the Little People, took care of the Earth so that the Crow people got everything they needed. In return, the Crow leave gifts for them at the Pryor Gap.
