This illustrated story retells a Mohawk legend about the importance of strawberries to the Mohawk People. Long ago, a brother and sister argue and part ways. One goes toward the sunset, the other travels in the direction of sunrise. But someone is watching over their argument and talks to the sister. He directs her to forgive and return to her brother. As brother and sister search for each other, the girl spots berries growing among bushes. Her hunger is eased when she eats some and takes the remainder for her brother. Their quarrel forgotten, the two share the wonderful berries. All is forgiven and they return home. Since that time, the Iroquois believe that strawberries can heal quarrelsome behavior.
