Summary:
At the time spring thaw, the Rocky
Cree
fill their canoes with furs, eager to trade with the new visitors in mistiwāsahak (Hudson's Bay). But not all of the new visitors are welcome. When the canoes return home to the shores of the misinipī river, the Rocky
Cree
begin to collapse one by one, drenched in sweat and slowly slipping into delirium. Kākakiw struggles to help the sick as more and more people pass into the spirit world. Exhausted physically, emotionally, and spiritually, he seeks guidance through prayer. Hope finally comes with a visitor in the night: one of the Little People, small beings just like us. If Kākakiw can journey to their home, he will be given the medicine his people need. All he has to do is paddle through a cliff of solid bedrock to get there. To save his people from certain death, Kākakiw must overcome doubt to follow the traditional teachings of the Asiniskaw Īthiniwak and trust in the gift of the Little People.
