Book excerpt: Gluskabe returned from hunting to find Grandmother Woodchuck walking in circles, frowning and grumbling. “Nokemes (grandmother), what’s wrong?” “Oh, Gluskabe, my son, we have no more tobacco. Tobacco is a sacred plant. We use it to heal skin infections, bruises, and sprains. We use tobacco leaves as a tea to cure headaches and stomach problems. We offer tobacco to the Creators and those we respect and love. " “And why is there no more of it?” inquired Gluskabe. “Tobacco doesn’t grow everywhere. It needs a moderate climate and sandy soil. The Six-Legged Monster has taken all of what was sparsely growing. Now, all the tobacco is on the Six-Legged Monster Island.” “Then I shall go to this island and bring back the tobacco.”
