Back during Pre-Columbian time, in North America, the many tribes of Native Americans respected the land. Before any European set foot on North American soil, there was no concept of "owning" or "selling" land as a commodity. Instead, the Natives shared the land among all tribe members. Everything had a spirit, and everything was sacred. 

    With the introduction of Eurpoeans, the land was terraformed for the English lifestyle or the Spanish quest for gold. Land was plowed and farmed upon until it was no longer usable, and it was then abandoned. The settlers also began to claim land for their home country. The land the Natives valued so much was being heavily damaged by these intruders, and there was nothing to be done about it except fight back. Some tribes did such a thing, and others remained peaceful to no effect. The bloodshed in New England was especially immense with King Philip's War. 

Disappointed in his followers and in the intruders' attacking of the land, the Chief of Woodlands cast himself onto Earth from the Skyland. Unable to take his usual form, he summoned the skins of the mighty wolf, and his new body was gowned in the robes of an Indian chief. He built an earthen lodge in the forests of the Frontier. There he was able to drive back the English colonists into the coastline cities. Not only was he punishing the colonists, but he also killed any native who intended to attack a colonist. As the native belief goes, land is to be shared by all.

And thus, balance was established between the colonists and the natives. The god eventually returned to Skyland, and once he did, the Americans pushed against the natives until they were fully forced out of their homeland. However, all of the god's power was used in his descension and return, so he was unable to save the tribes that suffered. The Chief of Woodland was unable to continue protecting his people, and as a result, he had the Shaman God cast his soul into the wolf body once more, forever, but he was mindless. He would wander the woods he ruled for eternity.
