61:100 Whistling the Water by Stefon Mears

Mahru is of the Nare tribe, a tribe of water whistlers. He is on the cusp of manhood but he can't yet whistle the water to obey him, to make him a home, or any of the other things that he should be able to do on his own.  His aunt says it does not matter.as the new people from the sky, the Awnu, are showing them new ways.  But Mahru does not trust the Awnu, and neither does his father, so he continues to work on his water whistling hoping to become proficient before he really needs it.

The base plot was predictable but the world building was wonderful and I would love to read more about Mahru and his tribe.
