Review Quotes: "This book brought a lot of memory for me when Elders used to tell stories sitting around and visiting my parents and telling stories about nąhgąąÌ. The story was so descriptive the way the Elders told stories. I related to all the events of the story because its very similar to the stories I've heard. MahsıÌ Cho for keeping our stories alive."--Maro Sundberg, Executive Director at Goyatiko Language Society
