This is a unilingual story with hand-drawn illustrations and North Slavey text. There is an English guide at the end (p.28) which explains that a group of dene people lived on an island happily, along with Tatsǫ́ (the Raven). Tatsǫ́ was a prankster, and was so disruptive that the dene took away his beak. Tatsǫ́ tries to trick them by making mud people to distract the community so he can steal his beak back. He takes it from a blind elder, who mistakes him for a child. He flies away with his beak returned to him. This document has a stamp on the last page that reads “Interpreter/Translator Program.” The first two lines read:

Yahnı̨́ı̨ ts’ę́ dene ło du k’e gonezǫ́ nágedé. Du k’e gonezǫ́ t’á dene surı́ gogha gonezǫ. Eyu du k’e dene nágedé goghá Tatsǫ́ k’ola nágwe redı. Tatsǫ́ dene keg ok’áláwe zǫ. Tatsǫ́ goɂǫ́ dene ke gok’áláwe, hé goɂǫ́ gode zǫ t’á dene ke gogha nezǫ́ le.
