| Synopsis
|
"Kú7pece (Porcupine) always struggled with his emotions. He pushed his
relations away. Kú7pece did not like this part of himself and thought
to explore his identity and learn more about himself and others. He
knew that learning ultimately supported the well-being of the self,
his family, his community, and the land. To connect with his relations
and his friends, Kú7pece decides to build a gathering place: a
c7ístkteń (winter home). This is a place he is hoping his
relations can gather and learn about each other through sharing
stories. However, Kú7pece traps the sun and soon gets distracted by
the sun's heat and light. So much so, he forgets who he is and his
purpose. Soon he is trapped too and can not see that he is neglecting
his responsibilities. It takes the sacrifice of his relations and
friends to help him realize he was trapped in his own reality. Once he
realizes the lesson of the sacrifice of his friendsthat they were
trying to help him reconnect to his own place and purposehe turns
away from the sun. It takes all his courage to break away from the
sun's heat and light. Slowly, he remembers his identity, purpose, and
responsibilities. In the end, Kú7pece finds himself again and
reconnects with his relations to gather and tell stories. Together
they are learning and supporting one another through their journey of
life." Strong Nations Publishing website.
