Within a tribe of ancient, indigenous people who once roamed the Idaho Panhandle, there was a legend about the daughter of a mighty shaman who fell in love with a mountain lion. His strength, honor, and courage allowed him to leave the coils of the beast behind and become human, but her father cast a powerful curse on all those who followed them. Their children would never truly be one with lion or human but would shift between the two worlds. This story, passed down between the generations, became known as the Legend of Koyama'.
