What is the curse of spirit stick?

The curse of the spirit stick is a legend told by the Nisga'a people of British Columbia, Canada. The legend says that a long time ago, a Nisga'a man named K'yuu found a spirit stick in the forest. The spirit stick was very powerful, and K'yuu used it to help his people. However, the spirit stick also came with a curse. If K'yuu ever used it for selfish reasons, the curse would be unleashed and he would be punished.

One day, K'yuu was hunting in the forest when he saw a group of men from another tribe stealing from his people. K'yuu was angry, and he used the spirit stick to turn the men into stone. However, this was a selfish use of the spirit stick, and the curse was unleashed.

The curse caused K'yuu to become sick. He grew weaker and weaker, and eventually he died. His people were very sad, and they buried him with the spirit stick. They also made a law that no one would ever be allowed to use the spirit stick again.

The curse of the spirit stick is a reminder that power must be used wisely. If it is not, there can be terrible consequences.
