A spirited race unfolds in the Woodlands as the Creator challenges the birds to soar to the heavens in search of the most beautiful song. Among the competitors is the mighty Eagle and the diminutive Hermit Thrush. As the Hermit Thrush cunningly hitchhikes on Eagle's back, he discovers a mesmerizing melody in Skyworld, forever changing the course of his life. However, the price of his deceit is steep, as the woodland birds must navigate the consequences of his actions.
In the spirit of the Haudenosaunee values of reconciliation and consensus, the birds of the forest convene a council to address this contentious dispute. As the tension builds, the Council seeks to find a resolution that not only respects the integrity of the race but also upholds the harmony of the forest community.
