![]() ![]() Gabe meets up with a bush pilot named Clint who says he is taking a couple Dene tribe members back to Nahanni Butte. One day, Gabe’s father sets up a flight for Gabe to explore the Northwest Territories. Gabe feels like Raymond is struggling in school, so he helps him, and they bond over playing hockey together. They get along okay, but Raymond spends most of his time with other Dene tribe members. When Gabe arrives in Canada, he meets his new school roommate, 15-year-old Raymond Providence, an Indigenous American of the Dene tribe. Gabe’s father agrees that he can stay in Canada if Gabe spends one year in the Northwest Territories, where he can get used to the harsh winter conditions and attend Yellowknife boarding school. Gabe lives with his grandparents in Austin, but desperately wants to live with his oilman father in Northern Canada. Narrated in the first-person perspective by 15-year-old Gabe Rogers, the story begins in Austin, Texas. ![]()
