About
"It's a cold, snowy night at Lac La Croix First Nation, and two siblings are too excited to fall asleep. The horses are coming tonight! Amid the buzz of aunties and uncles and cousins, Nookomis tells a story that began many years ago, when their people shared the land with herds of wild ponies. In a symbiotic relationship, the people provided the horses with food and shelter, while the horses helped them run traplines and travel. But after many years had passed, and the herd had dwindled to four, the government threatened to shoot them. It was time to move the remaining horses to safety -- but getting them there would be harder than they thought! Follow the true story of a "heist across the ice" from Ontario to Minnesota and learn how a small herd of hardy, Indigenous horses returned years later to their native land. Rich illustrations honour the life of the Ojibwe people over time, as well as the land and living things that have survived under their stewardship"--
