Description
Her name is Omakayas, or Little Frog, because her first step was once a hop, and he or she lives on an island in Lake Superior. At some point in 1850, Omakayas′s island is visited by a group of mysterious other folks. From them, she learns that the chimookomanag, or white other folks, want Omakayas and her other folks to go away their island and move farther west.
That day, Omakayas realizes that something so valuable, so essential that she never knew she had it within the first place, may well be in peril: Her way of living. Her home.
