Kaya admires brave Swan Circling, but worries she'll never measure up. Kaya is still struggling with an old nickname and the lesson she is learning with it. Kaya knows how the name given to her by the other children reflects qualities that she has, but wishes she didn't have! Then, she finds herself admiring a young woman who had married into her tribe. Swan Circling is a courageous warrior woman and Kaya wants to be her friend and learn from her. Swan Circling sees in her many admirable qualities she willing points out to Kaya, but Kaya remains embarrased by her past mistakes. She feels the compliments could not be true, and is ashamed to tell Swan Circling about how she got the dreaded nickname and how she got herself and her sister captured by the neighboring tribe. Then, Swan Circling finds a way to leave Kaya with a new name that she can live up to and grow into. Kaya looks up to Swan Circling, a woman from her tribe, and wants to be just like her. She seeks her out to spend time with her, and the two become friends. She feels she must tell Swan Circling of her shortcomings, but Swan Circling dies before she can. Kaya’s mother comforts her with the knowledge that Swan Circling knew of Kaya’s past mistakes but believed in her anyway. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
