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
tipâchimûn, 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 kâkusâpâhtâhk, the 'one who
performs the shaking tent ceremony'.
