She glanced at Amata in excitement and set the spoon down from the pot where she’d been stirring their food. “Where is he?” she asked Citlali’s brother who’d come into the lodge to make the announcement. “He’s in the chief’s lodge,” he replied. “He didn’t come alone. He brought a white couple with him, and they have Etu and Yepa with them!” Citlali’s mother gasped. “Etu and Yepa? Motega and Takchawee’s children?” “Yes,” he affirmed. “Can it really be?” one of Citlali’s aunts asked, her hand pressed to her chest. “There’s only one way to find out,” his mother said. “We must see them.” Nodding, Onawa joined Citlali’s mother, brother, and one of his aunts in getting ready to leave while the others decided to stay in the lodge to finish preparing the meal. She wrapped the buffalo robe around herself to keep warm and followed them out of the lodge. Though she was excited to see the missing children, she couldn’t wait to see Citlali again.
