You live with your tribe in a pueblo village. There has been no rain for a long time and the crops you grow are dying. The only hope for your village is to ask for help from the spirits your people call kachinas. You are told they are very powerful and helpful spirits. They can even change the weather! You have danced and prayed to the kachinas, but now the time has come to go find them. The trail up the mountain will be long and dangerous. Will you bring your friends? Or do you decide to face the wilderness alone?
