"Omakakiins and her family live on an island in Lake Superior. Though there are growing numbers of white people encroaching on their land, life continues much as it always has. But the satisfying rhythms of their life are shattered when a visitor comes to their lodge one winter night, bringing with him an invisible enemy that will change things forever--but that will eventually lead Omakakiins to discover her calling." --
Omakakiins and her family live on an island in Lake Superior, where their way of life remains largely unchanged despite the increasing presence of non-indigenous settlers encroaching on their land. However, their peaceful existence is disrupted when a visitor arrives at their lodge one winter night, bringing with him an unseen threat that will alter their lives in profound ways. This event ultimately leads Omakakiins on a journey of self-discovery, helping her find her true purpose.
