Kú7pece (Porcupine) always struggled with his emotions. He pushed his relations away. Kú7pece did not like this part of himself and thought to explore his identity and learn more about himself and others. He knew that learning ultimately supported the well-being of the self, his family, his community, and the land. To connect with his relations and his friends, Kú7pece decides to build a gathering place: a c7ístkten̓ (winter home). This is a place he is hoping his relations can gather and learn about each other through sharing stories. However, Kú7pece traps the sun and soon gets distracted by the sun’s heat and light. So much so, he forgets who he is and his purpose. Soon he is trapped too and can not see that he is neglecting his responsibilities.
