Every night, Malakai's Kye7e would tell him stories beneath the vast Secwepemc sky. She spoke of the stars, spirits of their ancestors who watch over them, guiding and protecting their people through the darkness. Their laughter filled the air, their love unspoken yet deeply understood.

But when Kye7e journeys to the spirit world, Malakai is left with an ache in his heart and questions that only the stars might answer. As he searches for comfort, his mother, Setse7, shares the wisdom passed down through generations: the stars are not just distant lights, they are their ancestors, always present, always guiding. Through stories of courage, of warriors like T'ult and of the Secwepemc people's enduring words, Tscwinºcw-k ("We made it through the night"), Malakai discovers that Kye7e is never truly gone.

A powerful story of love, loss, and the strength of ancestral connection, Tscwinºcw-k: The Stars of the Secwepemc honours the wisdom of generations, the resilience of the Secwepemc Nation, and the sacred teachings that carry their people forward. More than a children's book, this is a story for all who seek belonging, who look to the stars for guidance, and who find comfort in the knowledge that we are never alone.
