Ouroboros Spine Waiting on that morning sun

The one called moonwoman beckoned her to follow. She was not the only northern here, and the people she had so fortunately found would be her saving grace. 

Nasamik was no longer alone.

To heal better is something I wish to know. Among other things. Then someday, perhaps, I may become hunter and fledged woman to your village, should you allow it. It may have been presumptuous to say, but this was the way she knew. To not grow fully unto herself is to fail those who have taught you. Now with those of her blood gone, her worth must be proven elsewhere.

I do. When in the north, it is often too cold to go without the extra warmth. It is one of the first things girls were taught in Miusunnit. Until we grow into our body's strength, hunting is a lesson saved for later. So, in our hearths, we would learn to strip the fur of the flesh and bone, wash it, and store it away for when it is needed. It was seen as a chore to help the elders who were busy elsewhere.
