"You know, to us the land is like a book," Etseh told his grandchildren.
"Each place has a name and a story. After we check the net and make some dry fish, we'll be going to a place called 'Nidziikaa Kogolaa'. There are some good stories and some very sad stories at that old village."
"What happened there? Tell us!" urged Nora.
"Be patient," said her grandmother. "You must see each place before we tell you the stories. Finish your food and then we'll check the net and pack up."
