Fools Crow’s brother and Rides-at-the-door’s son. When Running Fisher is first introduced, he is a promising young Pikuni, and his father sees him as an honorable warrior-in-the-making. On his first war raid, however, Running Fisher is terrified when a solar eclipse causes the “Sun to hide his face,” and he only pretends to fight, riding along the outskirts of the camp and yelling. Afterward, Running Fisher is consumed by his shame and begins to withdraw from family life and resent his brother’s success. He ultimately has an affair with his father’s third wife, Kills-close-to-lake, and is sent to live with relatives in the Siksikas tribe to the north as punishment for dishonoring his father’s lodge.
