"When you take something from the earth, you must give something back."
Set in Kwantlen First Nations Village of Squa'lets, Joseph A. Dandurand introduces the Syuwe (Storytellers) who spin a tale about Th'owxiya, a powerful and fierce feast dish. Her feast dish holds many beautiful foods from around the world. A young mouse, Kw'at'el, decides to steal from Th'owxiya's feast dish which in turn brings upon her wrath. Kw'at'el must pay for his theft by bringing her two tasty children or she will eat Kw'at'el's whole family. Kw'at'el slowly begins to realize Th'owxiya's power, and to appease the goddess goes on desperate search of two tasty children. Kw'at'el meets Sqeweqs (Raven) and two young Spa:th (bears). Meanwhile Sasq'ets (Sasquatch) tries to appease Th'owxiya with alternate gifts which in the end leads us all to the lessons of greed, respect, understanding and forgiveness.
