This cane also allowed Nun’yunu’wi to have an incredible sense of smell with which to track his quarry.

The logs were set on fire to get him to reveal such secrets. The next morning,

The logs were set on fire to get him to reveal such secrets. The next morning, beneath the ashes of the wood, all that remained was a large glob of red paint and a magic stone. Any hunter who used that paint would have success in hunting. Nun’yunu’wi means “dressed in stone” in Cherokee.
