Abstract
"Wabus, or Wallace White Sky, a young Chippewa Indian boy growing up in northern Wisconsin at the turn of the century, is caught up in the fierce conflict between his traditional forest-dwelling grandparents and his father, who works in a lumber mill and brings Wabus into the modern world. With a realistic and authentic portrayal of the hunting, war parties, ceremonies, and beliefs of the Chippewas, the story of Wabus' suffering to find his own way and keep his own loyalties in the midst of two different worlds is a moving and compelling one."--Back cover.
