Hi Liz--
I have the chance to learn a lot here, maybe. I lived in "Badger House" in Madison, WI, way back when and have always thought "Badger medicine" was involved in what I experienced there. I am delighted to read your assessment of what this might mean.
This is well done with maybe too many names and too much information all at once, at least for me.
Thanks

Thank you for your involved appreciative review. I am delighted that you found connection with my meaning for Badger medicine. I'm gladyou are enjoying the story. There is one more chapter then we say good-bye to the girls.
Comment from AJ McCall
First I will say, the picture captures the entire story in the women's face. My heart went out to those girls as they said the names of each of their missing family members. It's horrible that this actually happens. This was a heart-felt chapter. I'll be waiting for the next one!

Thank you for your emotionally attached review. When I reread it to edit it, I became very agitated and teary. The next one is equally as emotional with a touch of anger. After this poem posted, I will post the next called the Marquee Light

Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
So they followed the track under the waterfall. I thought they would. I also heard of this possibility, that there is a narrow dry passage under a great waterfall. What cought my attention also was the moment of prayer, where all the girls dedicate their chant to members of the family who are deceased. Quite moving!

Thank you for your appreaciative review. I got teary as I reread this to edit it. I wanted to impress upon readers how epidemic this problem is on the reservations; that it is possible that every girl here may have been personally impacted by human trafficking.

Welcome, Liz, to the review.

I love how you have chosen to use Native traditions in using their nicknames/spirit animals as their identities and highlight their talents. It is interesting the situation they have found themselves in, but is nice how they are trying to work together for a common goal.

Comment from Lucy de Welles
Smooth, clear, easy to understand story, moves forward at a moderately fast pace, which is nice because new reader can catch up quickly with story. Characters are interacting with their non-physical loved ones. Believing for certain outcomes. Taking things as they come. Taking the "good" with the "bad". Doing their duties. Dilemma of Coyote possibly muddling with Wolf's wisdom and blocking their direction out of the cave. Resolution to come...
Well done!

What a great picture choice, Liz? I do so enjoy how you add in the prayers and acknowledgements throughout. It is so true that Native Americans do chant and pray throughout the day and if awake at night, then that time as well. You show a bond that is growing in the group which is truly needed if they are to survive, to escape, to grow. An amazing job.

Comment from Mistydawn
This is another great installment. It's well-written, very interesting. The ceremonies the girls performed made them and the hardships they had to endure seem more realistic. Made us have empathy for them. I look forward to reading more.

I was teary as I wrote and reread this ep. They are getting closer to the outside. But then I researched the landscape around the Reservation & it is quite a journey still to go to get down the mountain. Thank you for your loyal following and enthusiastic review.
Comment from Iza Deleanu
Nice reunion and the circle time starts. All of the native girls have beautiful names. This chapter is calmer. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from lyenochka
I really liked your cave descriptions and that the sun is Grandfather and the moon is Grandmother. That gives me such a sense of being close to Nature. I smiled at "Brother Badger" because we have a poet here that goes by that.
Turtled watched as the (Turtle)
Whoa, you were right. We're really still dry". (not sure if the close quote marks are meant to be here or if you're missing an open quote.)
