Jamie Mcnair was sixteen years old and lived in a boarding school in Toronto. His parents died in a car accident when he was nine and his only relative was his uncle Angus, a trader, who lived in a cabin in the north of Canada. One day Jamie got a telegram from Angus, which said that he wanted him to come, because the school cost too much money. Jamie had read very much about the north and for him his uncle always was a kind of legend. He was glad about the letter, because he realized that the boarding school had never been a real home for him.
After a long journey by train through lonely plains and mountains of Canadas wilderness he arrived in The Pas, the next town to his uncle's cabin. After his arrival his uncle made a canoe trip with him and Jamie became fascinated by the wild face of the new world. During one year Jamie had found a new home and new friends in the world of his uncle. His best friend became a young Cree Indian, called Awasin. He was the son of Alphonse, who was the best friend of Angus.
One day Awasin's father came to the uncle's cabin and asked him to go with him to a trade market in the south. It would be a long journey and so Alphonse suggested Jamie to live in his tribe in the meanwhile. Before Angus went away he ordered Awasin to take care of his nephew. .
Short after the arrival of Jamie and Awasin in the camp of the Cree Indians, three hunters of the Chipeweyan tribe came with canoes. The headman Denikazi told Solomon, Awasin's uncle and the chief while Alphonse wasn't here, that they had no food and he asked the Crees for help in hunting deers. Solomon was determined to help him. On the next morning the Chipeweyan hunters and some hunters from the Crees, Solomon, Awasin and Jamie followed the tracks of the deers by the side the river. It was very hard for Jamie to keep up with the others but nevertheless he was glad, because he wanted to have an adventure. .
After two days the tracks went in an other direction away from the river.
