Kaya Shows the Way

The story covers two themes, one of them being the food-gathering activities of the tribe, especially salmon fishing. The second theme is about Kaya's blind sister who had been captured by another tribe.

Speaking Rain, Kaya's sister, finally is reunited with Kaya but there's a problem, a promise made by Speaking Rain to the woman who found her and with whom she's lived since then. It's a promise that could cause her to be separated once again from Kaya.

There's no major earth-moving events in the story, just basically daily life among the tribe. Still, it allows us to see just how hard they all had to work, even relatively young children, in order to make sure that there was enough food and that all the tasks got done that needed to be done. It's quite interesting, actually. Another good addition to the series.
