Amo’s Sapotawan

The Rocky Cree people understand that all children are born with four gifts or talents. When a child is old enough, they decide which gift, or mīthikowisiwin, they will seek to master. With her sapotawan ceremony fast approaching, Amō must choose her mīthikowisiwin. Her sister, Pīsim, became a midwife, while others gather medicines or harvest fish—but none of those feel quite right. What will Amō’s mīthikowisiwin be? Which skill should she choose? And how will she know what is right for her?
