Ouroboros Spine up with the trees

Yes, yes, Moonwoman is dear to this man - a friend. She says cotton grass hunter because this is the meaning of Kannoyak - cotton grass.

The pale man’s name did not belong to the common tongue. He did not need to inquire about White Elk, for it was a name that needed no further definition. Something about that was pleasing to the northerner. He liked the simplicity, the knowing without having to inquire. Though there may have been more depth to White Elk’s calling, it did not need elaboration.

At the mention of another, Kannoyak’s head tilted and he drew his ears to a point.

Hm. This one may have hunted with Callyope. She is one of the Moonwoman’s children?
