=== Anahiwa ===

At the time of contact, Anahiwa (his name means "Cut Arm") was the leader of the Drumhead band of Kenebune, whose traditional range included much of the central valley, including Bridal Falls City.  Initially, the Drumhead welcomed the early pioneers and assisted them during the first deadly winter.  However, as the Faithful began to plant Bridal Falls City and build permanent dwellings, Anahiwa came under increasing pressure to drive them from the ancestral lands.  Although Anahiwa preached peace, there were a series of vicious raids against the Faithful sponsored by rival Tall Pine warriors, in which two men were killed and a woman - Patience Steese - was abducted.  In reprisal, the Faithful razed two unguarded encampments of Drumhead and later killed seven braves.  Even after this, Anahiwa approached the Elders and Ancients to seek a solution.  He was immediately imprisoned, which sent his people on the warpath at last.  Monish, Anahiwa's chief rival among the Drumhead and a formidable shaman, assumed command of the band.  Word soon spread that the Tenskwatawa, the "Ghost Who Walks Through Doors" had arrived to assist them in driving out the Faithful, and many Mountain People rallied to their cause.  Anahiwa converted to the Faith in prison.  His son, Jacob King, was called to be a Dog and served in that capacity with distinction.
