A beautifully illustrated tale of two young "men" who set out to travel farther north than anyone in their tribe. They journey far north to the land of Inuit, encountering new people and having learning experiences along the way. This is uplifting material for children and adults. The story emphasizes family, tribe, stories, love for land and animals, respect for others, courage, and giving thanks to higher beings. Lopez is the author of many nature-themed and environmental books.

A charmingly written and illustrated story of two young Sioux braves on a quest to explore new territories and meet new tribes to the north of their own tribe's customary territory.
The two men are illustrated throughout with the heads of their respective totem names, those of a crow and a weasel.
They play jokes on each other and roam far enough to encounter eskimos, before returning to their own people with news of their adventures.

Possibly the BEST BOOK EVERY WRITTEN. Read it now, it will change your life, if you approach it with the right spirit. Me and my wife both bought it for eachother secretly for anniversary gifts, so now we have a loaner copy if you're interested...

quote
"Remember on this one thing, said Badger. The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other's memories. This is how people care for themselves. "
