Summary:

Kaýs is a young Cree man who is blessed with a gift that makes him a talented hunter. He knows the ways of the Beings he hunts and can even talk with them in their own languages. But when he becomes proud and takes his abilities for granted, he loses his gift, and the people grow hungry. With the help of the Elders and the Beings that inhabit the water, Kaýs learns that in order to live a life of success, fulfillment, and peace, he must cherish and respect the talents and skills he has been given. Illustrated with the late Dale Auger's powerful paintings, this new edition of Mẃkwa Talks to the Loon introduces readers to the basics of life in a Cree village. A glossary with pronunciation guide to the many Cree words and phrases used in the story is included.
