The young Indian tries by his subtle pleadings and gentle wooings to win her consent to become his wife. Music is one charm which he thinks she cannot resist. Straightway he cuts from a willow bow overhanging the river a twig, from which he makes a flute, which he plays with a skill and tone which has always been magic to those who listen to its soothing and entrancing strains. Awanta soon tires of his music and starts to leave him. He pleads with her, but she points to the tepees in the distance, on the cliffs that overlook the waterfalls below. Wild Fox prays to the Great Spirit for aid and awaits an answer to his prayer. The young princess meets her white trapper and when he asks her to become his wife, she consents. Bidding farewell to her tribe forever, she enters the white man's canoe and is soon passing down the river on her way to her future home. Wild Fox, while standing upon the precipice, sees his love passing away from him with the white man, and sadly makes his way down the cliff to the edge of the river, where he gets in his canoe, pushes out into the middle of the stream, throws his paddle away and slowly drifts down to the great falls, over which he dashes into the turbulent rapids and on and on to the surging whirlpool at the foot of which, shortly afterwards, his upturned canoe is found, while Awanta and her husband peacefully and happily proceed on their way to dream of life and love, reflected in the waning sunset before them.
