Qaqsoss naka Wahantuhsis follows the journey of Qaqsoss, a fox who has fled from a dangerous pack of wolves and finds herself in a mysterious, enchanted forest. There, she is pursued by Wahantuhsis, a tiny demon who unintentionally sabotages her efforts to find peace. The story acts as an allegory for living with personal demons and the struggles that come with mental illness, trauma, and generational pain. As Qaqsoss navigates the darkness of the forest and her own mind, she learns to survive, adapt, and make sense of the chaos that surrounds her. Eventually, she faces her own inner battles, symbolized by Wahantuhsis’ presence and the larger demon lurking in the background. In the end, Qaqsoss’ struggle highlights the importance of understanding oneself and the need for healing from both personal and societal trauma.
