Verdigris Ravine home?

Kusuma-da was coyot. How you say...? she trailed off as she continued to mark, trying to recall the word that the coywolves used for "-da". Her face contorted in thought before she found something in her memory. Fa...hir? Gah, common hard for Kusuma! she huffed, shaking it off for a moment before continuing her tale. Kusuma-ma was jackal. Jackal look like coyot, live like coyot; more slim with pointier snout, from Kusuma's memory. Kusuma is coyot-jackal, pup from pairing of Kusuma-ma and Kusuma-da. How Kusuma fur of night and not of sun is secret wind does not whisper. 

She told her story, of the Furless making the world go dark and scooping her up into a smooth, tiny cave they sealed off with methods beyond her ability to explain. Of how Kusuma-kin was taken with her and eaten by an impossibly large, shiny bird, with a loud growl as if countless wolves growled at once. How it spat them out in a new place entirely, how she broke of her cave and escaped the wrath of bad Furless. 

How she met pack of coywolf, how they taught her common and how to hunt for herself. 

Is all Kusuma has to tell about Kusuma. she finished.
