Kaya Shows the Way

Kaya and her family are on their way to thundering Celilo Falls for an exciting summer of salmon fishing, horse racing, games, parades, feasting, and dancing. Kaya loves to join in the fun, but she's also got something serious on her mind: searching for her lost sister, Speaking Rain. Thousands of Indian families and friends gather at Celilo Falls each summer, and Kaya hopes that someone may have word of a blind girl who is living as a captive or, Kaya dares to hope, has managed to escape. Kaya has something else on her mind, too. Her older sister, Brown Deer, will soon marry Cut Cheek. That thought makes Kaya glad, but sad, too. She lost one sister when she had to leave Speaking Rain with the enemies. Now will she lose her other sister as well?
