Well developed idea here, Bob. All challenge requirements met and then some. It’s educational in a way because the meaning of your story can really only be fully understood through the Native American lens or culture. Very neat— now I must see if any of this story is factual— no points deducted for making it up btw! It’s supposed to be fictional— this website is called ficly not non-ficly by golly!

This is beautiful, without any of the cheesy “wise primitive” feel that is often present in tales told from a Native American point of view. Very well done.
