Angeline Boulley’s Firekeeper’s Daughter explores how the past impacts the present while seamlessly blending traditional Ojibwe stories and language. Daunis Fontaine, an 18-year-old Ojibwe woman, grapples with two identities: that of her privileged, white, French-Canadian mother and the Sugar Island Sault tribe of her late father. After the tragic death of her maternal uncle, Daunis is presented with an opportunity to investigate the mystery surrounding his death as well as the recent drug overdoses of young people in her community.
Kitchen Travels: Wildrice flour pancakes with fruit syrups from Red Lake Nations Foods.
