If they are to have any hope of recovering Wàbananang, though, they must first survive until spring.<br><br>At the same time, over 2,000 kilometres away in present-day Newfoundland, events taking place will affect four Native tribes: Mahingans, a group of Mikmaq, a Beothuk group, and a band of Haudenosaunee warriors led by Mahingans old nemesis, Ò:nenhste Erhar (Corn Dog) a fierce Mohawk War Chief and Wàbananangs captor.<br><br>Along the way, Mahingans brother, Mitigomij, will reveal his true self and powers. Then, an influential Mikmaq legend puts a new, powerful twist on events, and threatens to send things spiraling out of Mahingans control.
