The lore says that it was the woodpecker who first taught the smitten Indian brave how to construct a flute to win the heart of a maiden.
He would play at a distance while she worked hoping that she would respond. Tradition says that if she was not impressed, that the brave might have a stone thrown in his direction!
Here Wolfs Robe re-enacts the ritual on a beautiful morning in Sedona, Arizona.
