This review is from: Owl's Eyes & Seeking a Spirit: Kootenai Indian Stories (Paperback)
Two tales of the Kootenai are simply told by Kootenai elders and illustrated by Kootenai artists of Flathead Indian Reservation. "Owl's Eyes" tells how Owl first got his eyes opened by being surprised to see his friend Mouse gobbled up by Snake. Ever since, he stares! "Seeking a Spirit" tells of Lassaw's search for a spirit guide. He vision-quests on a mountain and discovers a great buffalo who will be his spirit helper. Imagine a cold winter night by the fire in (present day) northwest Montana where the Kootenai or Kaanka nation live. There were fish, deer, buffalo, roots and berries to eat. It was a hard life but a good one. Storytelling passed the time in the long winters and also communicated traditional values, such as wariness, respect for prey,habits and characteristics of game animals, and values such as respect for tribal community, sharing, and thrift. Owl's Eyes And Seeking A Spirit is second in a series of three. Suitable for children.Nancy Lorraine Reviewer
