Kayâs is a young Cree man and a gifted hunter. He knows the ways of the Beings he hunts and can even speak to them in their own languages. But when he becomes arrogant and loses his gift, his People grow hungry and he must seek help from kihtiyayak, the Elders, and onipîwâcihôwak, the Water Beings. To live a life of success, fulfillment, and peace, Kayâs must cherish and respect his talents and skills.
