Synopsis "muinjij becomes a man"
Muinji'j has been waiting all his life to make this trip with his grandfather-a trip to the city to sell rich otter, beaver and muskrat pelts and bring back supplies to the village. It's a long expedition that tests Muinji'j's reserves of strength, patience and maturity. Just as he thinks he and his niskamij have faced all of their challenges, the worst happens-his naskamij falls ill. Although Muinji'j gathers the medicine his grandfather asks for, it doesn't help fast enough. Both of them realize that there is only one solution: Muinji'j must continue the jou ey alone. He must face the challenges and mysteries of a city he has never seen, and retu to help his grandfather as well as his village that relies on him. Saqamaw Mi'sel Joe is the chief of the Miawpukek Mi'kamawey Mawi'omi - Conne River Mi'kmaq Tribal Nation in Newfoundland.
