gTa-Na-E-Kah by Mary Whitebird is about people in Kaw tribe in the modern world. ... An introduction was that Mary is a member of the Kaw Indian and had to participate in Ta-Na-E-Ka which is a rite of passage, flowering of adulthood and a test of survival with her cousin because her grandfather was devoted to tradition. In the Ta-Na-E-Ka, they, with bare feet and in bathing suits, would be sent into the woods without food for five days and their grandfather told them to eat grasshoppers. ... Therefore, she survived Ta-Na-E-Ka easily. ... A falling action was that her grandfather was disappointed; however, Mary did not give up and tried to convince him that it was a different era from era when her grandfather did Ta-Na-E-Ka.
