How the Summer Season Came And Other Assiniboine Indian Stories

From "The True Story of a Ghost: "
A ghost is a spirit of someone who has died and is earth bound. This story is about a ghost who chased four teenage boys. It happened long before the white man came.
The Plains Indians buried their dead by placing the body on a scaffold. It was customary to bury the person with their most valuable possessions.
A man had died and he was buried in the traditional way of the Plains Indians. At the same time the burial was taking place, there was a celebration going on about eight miles away.
At the celebration were four teenage boys. The oldest boy was about sixteen. Although they were all having a good time at the celebration, the oldest boy wanted to leave and ride out to the burial grounds. He was curious about the dead man's belongings. He really didn't want to go alone and he knew his friends would never agree to go there with him. It was a scary place and would be a long ride to get home before dark.
He decided to make up a story about going hunting. He knew his friends would leave the celebration for that. They all liked to hunt and they would be anxious to go along.
The boys left the celebration and rode their horses toward the burial grounds. The oldest boy did not tell them where they were going. He just told them they would hunt in a secret place. The boys rode along and did not ask any questions. They took their time and only walked their horses."
