Bird Family Book I. It is 1919, and Niska, the last Oji-Cree woman to live off the land, has received word that one of the two boys she saw off to the Great War has returned. Xavier Bird, her sole living relation, hovers between the worlds of the living and the dead, gravely wounded and addicted to morphine. As Niska slowly paddles her canoe on the three-day journey to bring Xavier home, travelling through the stark but stunning landscape of Northern Ontario, she realises that all she can offer in her attempt to keep him alive is her words - the stories of her life. In turn, Xavier relates the horror of the war years in Europe: how he and his best friend Elijah Whiskeyjack, prowled the battlefields of France and Belgium as snipers of remarkable skill. AS their reputations grew, the two young men in their hand-sewn moccasins became both the pride and fear of their regiment as they stalked the killing fields of Ypres and the Somme - and in doing so, their friendship was tested to its limits. Inspired in part by real-life First World War hero Ojibwa Indian Francis Pegahmagabow.
