In this Native American tale, a young girl, cruelly treated by her older sisters, is rewarded for her gentle heart and honesty. The great Indian warrior, Strong Wind, tests the truthfulness of all the maidens seeking to marry him. When only one answers honestly, she is welcomed as his bride, and her older sisters are punished for their cruelty.
