Little Big Chief and the Bear Hunt

Opening:
Away in the hills of the Okanagan Lived an Indian tribe in its pointed wigwams, A tribe that had for its chief a man Who kept food in the food pots, peace in the clans, Who had sturdy legs, though he wasn’t very tall, And as a hunter no one beat him from the spring to the fall He’d been a good chief, but now whispers began He was getting too old to be head of the clan He had wrinkle marks from his toes to his chin, Could he keep enemies out but food within? His muscles were weak, his tummy round, He no longer slept like a brave on the ground, But on a buffalo robe, warm and snug, Like a warm little bug in a snug little rug He heard the whispers but he just gave a shrug, For he was chief of the proud-hearted, fast-running, bright-feathered, brave-hunting Native People, Boom boom boom boom Boom boom boom boom Boom boom boom boom Boom boom boom boom

Delores has narrated this book and it will also be available on an Audio CD.
