Summary
: 
Coming from a nomadic people, Florent Vollant spent his life walking alongside Justin Kingsley. The book revolves around three periods of isolation: boarding school at age 5, prison at age 18, hospital at age 61. This whispered tale, imbued with the images and myths of its thousand-year-old Innu culture, offers poignant testimony to the residential schools and the consequences of the forced relocation to the reserves.
