An isolated, high mountain village of indigenous people called the Mokie lose their Shaman. Well, they have always had a Saman to guide them, since time out of mind. With no Shaman to guide them now, the Mokie gradually abandon their old traditional ways. The young Mokie people in the village grow up with no spiritual traditions to help them understand their home and culture which would hold them there. Their roots loose, they seek new places and begin to cross the Green Mountains and settle into the cities on the other side. The older Mokie people mourn the loss of their traditions and their young people. They grow more and more hopeless until one day, a winter storm blows a large noisy black crow and an oddly dressed newcomer into their village. They walk straight through the village and settle into an abandoned hut down by the river. The Green Shaman stays and begins to teach the two young Shamans who were finally born into the village. His story and theirs makes for a charming, intense read. 38 pages. 6x9. PB. All artwork by the author.
