This book contains Dene Medicine Power Stories in English, with translations. Many of the stories are about Cheely, K’áhbamı Túé, a Caribou medicine power man who was a Caribou in a former life, reincarnated, but was still able to communicate with the Caribou in order to make sure that people would not starve. There are stories about Yamoria and his brother, and Edzo making peace between the Dogrib and Chipewyan. One very interesting story is Yamoria giving the Dene their laws. Another has to do with a man named Daoyee and how he got his medicine power, not too long ago. Many of the stories have to do with the use of medicine power and the importance of only using it to help people.
