Cada qui�n lleva un tatuaje distinto al de todos los dem�s en su interior. Y eso, a fin de cuentas, es su mayor fortaleza. "A veces siento que todo lo que impide al ser humano caminar descalzo por la hierba es una gran mentira." El gran jefe Tenaya y su pueblo habitan pl�cidamente el valle prohibido de Yosemite, a los pies del Capit�n, el monolito preferido que hoy en d�a escalan los monta�istas m�s atrevidos. Pero en 1850, aquella tribu tuvo que enfrentar una persecuci�n sin tregua, una partida de ajedrez con los invasores del territorio piel roja. Petirrojo, hijo de Tenaya, sabe que su gente es de esp�ritu despreocupado, pero en su interior bullen las tribulaciones: la inseguridad frente a los talentos de sus hermanos, carism�ticos y decididos; el temor de defraudar a su padre, y la vacilaci�n ante el amor de Luz de D�a, su amada desde ni�os. �Qui�n no ha temido quedar mal con quienes m�s le importan? A Tenaya le basta una vida simple y feliz para que su paso por la tierra sea provechoso, pero en ocasiones se necesita demostrar algo, a s� mismo y a los dem�s. Hasta ahora, Petirrojo no sabe para qu� est� en el mundo y se lo reprocha, pero se dar� cuenta de que se necesita algo m�s que fuerza y astucia para vencer al enemigo, y poder as� ser digno y libre. �Acaso una persona o una naci�n entera dejar�a de existir si no alcanzara un sitio en la memoria del mundo? �Qu� audacia tan grande se necesitar� intentar en esta vida para que los dem�s te recuerden? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Everyone has a tattoo that is different from anyone else's on the inside. And that, after all, is their greatest strength." "Sometimes I feel like the only thing keeping human beings from walking barefoot through the grass is a big lie." Chief Tenaya and his people live peacefully in the forbidden valley of Yosemite, at the base of El Capit�n, the famous monolith that today's most daring rock climbers scale. But in 1850, this tribe had to face non-stop persecution: a chess game with the invaders of the native territory. Robin, Tenaya's son, knows that his people have a carefree spirit, but inside, he is churning with insecurity in the face of his charismatic, confident brothers' talents; fear of failing his father; and hesitation over the love of Daylight, his childhood sweetheart. Who hasn't felt afraid of letting down those they love the most? For Tenaya, it's enough to have a happy, simple life so that his stay on Earth is beneficial, but sometimes he needs to show something--to himself and others. Until now, Robin doesn't know what his purpose is, and he berates himself about it, but he will soon realize that one needs more than strength and cunning to conquer the enemy, and thus be honorable and free. Would a person or a whole nation stop existing if they didn't achieve a spot in the memory of the world? What audacity must you have in this life so that others remember you?
