"The Wyakin belief reflected a Nez Perce universe filled with individual spirits that existed in dreams and in real life, and to which Nez Perces could appeal for assistance: thunder, lightning, a soaring eagle, a grizzly bear, and so forth. Each spirit could harm or protect a man according to its powers and inclination. The Wyakin could be a single force or a combination of forces acting in concert. Each man had a personal Wyakin, warning him, protecting him, and assisting him through life."
