Based on a folktale as told by Betty Huffmon, this story is about a girl who decides to use her magic to help the ladies pick berries for the Fall Festival. Anana sings under the full moon -- turning four dolls into little girls that run and tumble over the tundra creating patches of fat, juicy berries: blueberries, cranberries, salmonberries, and raspberries. The next morning Anana and the ladies fill basket after basket with berries for the Fall Festival and have more than enough berries for agutak at the festival.
