Twins Max and Hannah join their extended family on their grandparents' South Dakota farm, eager to partipate in the annual pheasant hunt for the first time, and learn much about the birds and what they have meant to the state and their family.

Twins Heron and Muskrat learn about maize from their grandfather, who gives Heron a bone carving of four people with maize plants, and a thousand years later, Hannah finds the carving as she and her brother Max are learning about corn, or maize, from their own grandfather.
