Kays is a young Cree man blessed with a gift that makes him a talented hunter. He knows the ways of the animals he hunts and can even talk with them in their own languages. But when he becomes arrogant and takes his abilities for granted, he loses his gift. Without his ability to hunt, his people grow hungry. But with the help of the Elders and the Beings that inhabit the water, Kays learns to cherish and respect the talents and skills he has been given. Illustrated with the powerful paintings of the late Dale Auger,this new edition of the award-winning Mwkwa Talks to the Loonteaches valuable lessons and includes a Cree glossary and pronunciation guide.
