kukutux nodded. she began to set off down the path which would take them there.

"a time ago, a long time, there were three sisters. they quarreled every day. they were unkind to one another. they listened to neither their mother or their father."

the trees took shape ahead.

"one day, a handsome young hunter came into the village. he saw each of them. he saw their beauty. he knew he would have one for wife when he offered their father his bride price."

"but each sister hated the other. and because they could not agree, the first of them went to the man. 'come to the shore. we have decided who among us will be your bride.'"

"the sister drowned the man and pushed him down among the ice. but sedna saw. and she turned them all to trees, and the first sister the longest. when they have thought on their hatred for many, many moons, she will release them."

kukutux looked up at the green oak boughs. "it is a place to think and to be better."
