Time to go home!

“Hello, my name is Chief Denali, also known as the great one,” says Denali. “I see that Takoda has taken good care of you.” 

Yeti wants to know how they fell down from the sky. Denali smiles and tells him that he will explain why that happened. 

“As part of our culture when we pray or do anything sacred we see it as four directions,” says Denali. “I noticed which direction you two fell from and that was the from the south. Let me explain this a little further.” 

‘Because the southern sky is when the sun is at its highest, this direction stands for warmth and growing. The sun's rays are powerful in drawing life from the earth. It is said the life of all things comes from the south. Also, warm and pleasant winds come from the south. When people pass into the spirit world, they travel the Milky Way's path back to the south — returning from where they came.’ (Source) 

“You two came in from the direction of warmth and growing,” says Denali. “This means that the warmth and knowledge that you learned here today will continue to help you grow. I had the women create this special dream catcher for you to take home. It has been smudged which is the traditional Native American blessing. I am gifting this to you but please feel free to gift it to someone special that you know.” 

Chewy and Yeti look at each other and both know who to gift it to ……………. Tiffi! 

Denali asks them if they would like to stay a little bit longer and eat a meal with them. He promises that he will show them how to find their way back home once they finish eating. 

Did he mention food? Yeti takes a leap and a run towards the food!

And now our story comes to an end. The two of them enjoy the next couple of hours eating and watching the tribe do more dancing. Then they are guided to the southern end where the sun has gone down. It happens so fast that no one actually knows how they got back up into the sky or how they made it home. But the two of them had a wonderful adventure and they can’t wait to share it with Tiffi tomorrow. 

The End!
