Summary
:
Uapikun is an inquisitive young girl from the Innu community of Sheshatshiu in central Labrador. She lives with her mother, father and grandmother, as well as her two dogs Maikan and Shikuan. After school ends for the year, she takes the coastal boat with her father to the northern Labrador community of Natuashish, where her father was born. On the way, she is constantly asking her father questions, from where she will sleep to why icebergs float. Though she is used to the dogs in her hometown, she is anxious about meeting the new ones of Natuashish that she doesn't know and who don't know her. This gives her uncle an opportunity to teach Uapikun and her cousin how to be safe around dogs and how it is that dogs came to live with the Innu.
