Kayâs is a young Cree man who is blessed with a Gift that makes him a talented hunter. But when he becomes proud and takes his abilities for granted, he loses his Gift, and the People grow hungry. With the help of the Elders and the Beings that inhabit the water, Kayâs learns that to live a life of success, fulfillment and peace, he must cherish and respect the talents and skills he has been given.
