Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the unique story of a spirit who assumes different animal forms to gain a fuller understanding of life on Earth. Metamorphosing from wolf to bear to fox to buffalo to dog and many others, the spirit interacts with a multitude of creatures only to find humans to be the most destructive. The spirit is particularly horrified by the actions of one family after being invited in for sustenance, witnessing them butchering the corpse of an enemy. The spirit transforms into an opossum due to this upsetting experience and is eventually killed by a trapper. The hunter's sorrow over the killing prompts the spirit to transform back into human form for conversation. In recounting his experiences to the hunter during a harrowing rainstorm, the spirit briefly becomes a squirrel to find shelter. The spirit then falls into a pit and encounters Wabà mat, a deeply troubled human who shares his woes. Pacified by the gift of a buffalo, Wabà mat leads the spirit to his village where there is no cooking pot and the family subsists solely on roots. The spirit, abhorred by cannibalism, determines Wabà mat has earned the reward of a new life due to his abstinence from human flesh and transforms him and his family into beavers. The first beavers to ever exist on Earth, the family establishes a peaceful home in a previously undiscovered part of the world.
