Tshakapesh is visiting Quebec City with his sister. There is a music competition on and both are eager to see what new young prodigees have emerged from Quebec’s Indigenous communities. On Abraham’s Plains, they are accosted by a man (Master Yes) wearing a big pin with the word “Yes” on it. He tells Tshakapesh that he must be happy since the clan of Master No “has recognized the sovereignty of Indigenous people” and that “all Québécois are immigrants.” Master No appears and the two men start accusing each other of uttering the very same discourse. Tshakapesh leaves them to their fighting and catches up with his sister.
