- Settling in (Dec 21) with Nian
Claudius helps Nian Redtree build a den. They discuss various building techniques and Claudisu even helps out with his odd knowledge of human buildings and his love of pedology and geology. Nian wants to dig a hole for the poles, but Claudius points out that they wouldn't survive the unthawing in the spring. They work out a new solution to make a temporary, but sturdy, hut that will last the winter.
- But he'll always be a problem (Jan 2) with Liliana
Claudius seeks out Liliana to apologize for his behaviour when Ocèane returned to AniWaya. He brings with him his supplies to dye something as a gift. Liliana finds a wool blanket and suggests it to be dyed. Claudius realizes the blanket isn't clean enough, so Liliana washes it and lets it dry. Claudius returns a few days later and the pair work together to prepare a dye bath for the blanket.
- Carving Lessons (Feb) with Hadley
Claudius encounters Hadley, a visiting non-tribemember. Claudius notices he is carving a bowl and inquires about it. The two then try to find ways to shape it into a bowl with their combined crafts skills. Claudius shows Hadley how to use a chisel and a rock to carve it smoother, but Hadley ends up cracking it. So they set out to find some spruce tree sap and hunt for an animal to make a sticky glue of sap and animal fat.
- Older brother, restless soul, lie down (Feb) with Neela
Claudius meets Neela, a craftswoman at the Winter Festival. They discuss different types of carving and Neela explains how to build a large boat. Since Claudius has only seen canoes, he is astounded that something so large could be built.
- I am of the Great Spirit (Aug) with Saqui
Claudius seeks out a member of the Great Tribe, hoping they know about basket-weaving. He finds Saqui, who takes him out to find some honeysuckle plants. They harvest some of the plants that are still alive and Saqui then shows him how to weave a basket.
