Publisher's Note This traditional Native American legend tells the story of Nee-kil-stlas & how he brought fire to the Indians long ago. The book's realistic & lifelike illustrations bring warmth to this creative recounting of Nee-kil-stlas' struggles with the Bad Fairy Chief & how he outsmarts him by using magic powers. He becomes a hero to the Indian people because it was through Nee-kil-stlas that the Indians of long ago were able to make fire by rubbing rocks & wood together. A delightful story for young & old as well.
