Book Description
A young Beothuk Indian proves to her family and
community that she is no longer a woaseesk, a little girl.
Guided by the spirit of her grandmother, Sooshewan sets
out secretly to find her father, who is missing on a hunting
trip. The rich, fast-paced text gives unusual insight into the
day-to-day world of an extinct people, while at the same
time showing that little has changed in the often frustrating
passage from childhood to maturity.
