This traditional Native American legend tells the story of Nee-kil-stlas and how he brought fire to the Indians long ago. The book's realistic and lifelike illustrations bring warmth to this creative recounting of Nee-kil-stlas' struggles with the Bad Fairy Chief and how he outsmarts him by using magic powers. He becomes a hero to the Indian people because it was through Nee-kil-stlas that the Indians of long ago were able to make fire by rubbing rocks and wood together. A delightful story for young and old as well. Order from: Tipi Press, St. Joseph's Indian School, North Main St., Chamberlain, SD 57326, 605-734-3300, 800-229-5684.
