Story Of The Wildcat Clan
- Origin: A Chickasaw Legend
This clan differs from other clans principally in what its members eat. They seldom go out in the daytime but roam about at night in search of food. They do not, however, try to steal. They are swift of foot and when an accident happens to them they depend on their swiftness to escape.
