Le sage vieux chef devrait bientôt laisser sa place, et la jeune Linny rêve d'être choisie pour le remplacer. Alors qu'elle a des difficultés à passer le test, Linny apprend, de la façon la plus inattendue et avec l'aide de sa famille, ce qu'il faut vraiment pour devenir chef...

Cette histoire est racontée avec des poupées traditionnelles d'enveloppes de maïs. Les poupées de maïs protègent la maison, le bétail et le bien-être personnel du fabricant et de sa famille. Les poupées de maïs sont fabriquées dans certaines cultures autochtones depuis le début de la culture du maïs, il y a plus de mille ans, et on en fabrique encore aujourd'hui.
