But Uncle helps them find comfort in the night sky, where all the stars have stories.\u003cbr\u003e Indeed, there are so many stars and so many stories that the boys spend night after night observing and sharing, making sense of patterns and wisdom in \"the forever sky.\" They see a moose, a loon, a crane, the Path of Souls, and so much more.\u003cbr\u003e One night, a beautiful show of lights fills the sky. Niigaanii explains that the northern lights are the spirits of the relatives who have passed on. The boys imagine different relatives dancing, lighting up the sky with their graceful movements. And then they see her: Nooko is one of the elders leading the dance. She has a message for them. One they can share with their parents and their uncle and everyone else who remembers her. One that lends power to the skies and brings smiles to the stargazers' faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Peacock\u003c\/strong\u003e (Fond du Lac Band, Lake Superior Chippewa) is a coauthor of \u003cem\u003eThe Four Hills of Life\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Good Path\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eAnnette S.
