This is a story about Kachimayichasuw, beings in the Naskapi world view that may remind one of the many stories of gnomes, fairies or leprechauns found in European cultural traditions. Or, possibly the word refers to someone completely different. The story in this book is a tip‰chimžn, or a retelling of an eyewitness account about those sneaking mischief-makers who are said to throw rocks at tents and steal supplies, and are invisible to everyone except the k‰kus‰p‰ht‰hk, the Ôone who performs the shaking tent ceremonyÕ.
