Lake Tahoe is known by the people as the giant lake in the mountains where coyote, bear, deer and elk are abundant. During the spring several tribes travel up to the Lake to hunt and celebrate. The whole summer the people enjoy the cool and sunny weather, the crystal clear water and live of the earth. As the cold season starts the people migrate to lower and warmer parts. During the long winter Lake Tahoe changes into a white, pristine world where only a few coyote and bear survive. A thick layer of powerdy snow covers the mountains and the high valley on the shores of the Lake.
In the year of the falling bear one young man of the Navarro tribe decided he wanted to stay near the Lake during the winter. The tribe discouraged him, and the elders told him there would be little game and no plants to survive. The young man, Niska, knew all this, but was stubborn and thought when coyote can survive, I should also be able to survive. Besides, he did not have to support a family and his curiosity for the Lake during the winter won his fear.
Niska was well prepared. He had good clothes and boots made of buffolo leather. He had gathered nuts and dried fruits and stored them in a few secure places, just like the squirrels. Winter set in and Niska....
