What is the first reaction of the people when Shabogeesick brings the horse into the community

Saul begins by recounting a story he heard so many times as a child that it feels real to him, although it happened years before his birth. At the time, the Ojibway were still living on untamed land, sharing it with wild creatures. Saul’s great-grandfather transformed this reality by bringing the first horse back to the people. He was a great man, a shaman and a trapper with a close relationship to the land. At first, when he ventured into the bush and came back to the village with the horse, the people were afraid. Yet once he explained its gentleness and how useful it could be, they came to see it as a gift.
