Spencer "In Views of the State of Ireland."AD 1809, ? 9395 Says "The Irish new of the Scythians origin" because they lamented their dead. The Scythians said that "once a year they were turned into wolves." It is very common among the Ojibway indians and also the Dakota to refute legends and stories where in they see or have been? turned into wolves. The Indians believe that they are turned into Buffalo and other animals. The ancient Irish crossed out - did held the same belief except as to buffalo. Spencer maintains this the Irish view of Scythian origin, and if so it is easy to ascribe without any departure from truth. the origin to the indians, at least the Ojibway or Algic branch. ? among the Irish had the care of all thing in the home and field. This is a Spanish as well as an Indian custom. The Gauls used to drink the blood of their enemies and paint themselves. The Ancient Irish practiced like customs. The Ojibway as late as the early part of this century revelled in the blood of their enemies. On one occasion at Fort Snelling ? The Ojibway was permitted to punish by death in their own way three Dakota murderers. As they were being led out to be shot, two sang their death song with a loose? beat which the third could not sing through fear and trembling. They were all given thirty rods and then started to run, but were all shot. The executioner ran to the louder? of the two Dakotas and dipped their fingers in their blood and sucked them off. "to mucho them bravo"? but the ? spinned and kicked until their feet.
