Humans were lured out of a cave in this mountain range by a wolf sent by the double-faced spirit Anog-Ite with the promise of dried meat. A Great Race in this range saw hummingbird, meadowlark, hawk, and magpie defeat Running Slim, thereby establishing humanity’s supremacy over the animals. A landmark in this range is named for a famous heyoka who experienced a vision of “thunder beings” (10[1])as recalled in a 1932 book by John Neihardt.
