About This Book

A young Indigenous boy in a North American forest community, proud as the chief’s son, learns village life while playing with his baby brother and watching the construction and furnishing of their wigwam. He observes household tasks and practices skills with bows, arrows, and tools, and takes part in hunts. The story follows encounters with rival groups, the workings of tribal councils and ceremonies, and rites of courage including sacrifice and fasting. It concludes with the community’s movement and adjustment as they establish a new home, tracing the boy’s growth within his people’s customs and responsibilities.
