Niika is a hunter who loves the land and everything that lives on it.  She teaches others how to live in the wild and does so even with a horrendous injury she sustained while young.  She offers to take a group from the Nine out into the wilderness so two of the Wilders can look for food they can either breed or replicate on their starship and two of the Stone People can find the place where their ancestors lived.  Niika knew how to do both and not just showed the Wilders what they could and could not eat or study and found the ancestral grounds of the Stone People's people.  Along the way she is touched by one of the Stone People, Cavos and for him the bonding begins.  I think the bonding isn't as strong with Nik as with Cavos but it does progress.  As a gift to Nik, Cavos gives her a way out of the bindings of her injury so she can hunt and be with nature without the help of some awful device.  What better gift could one get, except maybe a mate too in the process.
