Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The men in the canoes were skilled, but they knew disaster was just a moment away. They were navigating among the islands of wôbanakik, a beautiful but dangerous edge of the world. #2 The Wapánahki were not a unified people. The languages spoken by those living far away were similar but subtly different from those of Ktə̀hαnəto and his relatives. They knew that they inhabited the most beautiful part of the world, and they felt slightly superior to all other people. #3 The people were able to hunt and gather wôbanakik, which provided them with food in the spring. The summers were also good, with little frosts that lasted only a short time. #4 The canoes carrying Ktə̀hαnəto and his companions rounded the last of the small islands, facing the swells again. The strange vessel was clearly visible, sitting quietly in a natural harbor among several islands, its trees bare of skins, the figures of men silhouetted against the sky.
