This story is about a family, including father, mother, little sister Ikwé and of course, Makwa. Assiniwi uses the family dynamic as a model to describe each individual’s role within the group: Makwa follows his father very closely to learn a number of tasks essential to the family’s survival. As such it serves as an introduction to Algonquin life before the arrival of Europeans. It also underlines the part played by Algonquins in contemporary society. The illustrations provide details about the Algonquin way of life for a very young audience.
