This resource illustrates the importance of the buffalo to the Cree people in the late 19th century. Sky Running and his people search for the great buffalo herds that are disappearing. Sky Running's vision reveals the location of the buffalo and the community must determine if the risk of travelling into rival territory outweighs facing winter without a sufficient supply of food. The story's illustrations enhance the text to provide a traditional sense of the seasonal planning of the people, the importance of thanksgiving, the roles and the responsibilities of all members.
