Get your hunter spirit ready, because Big Manitou takes you straight to the heart of tribal traditions! Imagine being part of one of these great tribes, needing to prove to everyone who is the most prestigious during the hunting season. This is no ordinary business; what's at stake is the respect and survival of your people. To achieve glory, you'll need plenty of strategy to manage your resources and ensure your tribe secures the most valuable items in the region.
