Cold Maker Term Analysis

– The spiritual entity responsible for cold and snow. Cold Maker resides in Always Winter Land with his two daughters, both of whom do not have eyes—only empty sockets. Cold Maker visits Fast Horse in a dream and offers him assistance during a horse raid if Fast Horse can find his favorite ice spring and remove the boulder that blocks it. Cold Maker also asks Fast Horse to gift his daughters prime bull robes and coal for their eyes. Fast Horse fails Cold Maker’s task and the raid ends badly.
