A MYSTICAL GRANDFATHER transforms the life of a modern day boy through the legend of SEEKS-TO-HUNT-GREAT. In this haunting and sometimes humorous, SEEKS-TO-HUNT-GREAT (Michael Horse) tracks a mountain lion for many months, learns from it and eventually gains its trust. Struggling to survive the hardships and dangers of living in the wild, both man and lion experience many surprises, and much suspense and adventure. Based on Native American folklore and the Medicine Wheel Way, SPIRIT OF THE WILD brings an awareness of our important relationship with our environment, our Mother Earth and all our brothers be they two-legged, four-legged or winged.
