Faye and the Dangerous Journey: An Ojibwe Removal Survival Story

Kim Sigafus, illustrated by Soia Di Chiara Manetti

In fall 1850, Faye and her family travel with thousands of Ojibwe people to Minnesota to collect money owed by the U.S. government. They must walk and canoe through harsh weather instead of receiving payment in Wisconsin. At their destination, Faye's mother becomes ill and the promised money is absent. The historical-fiction story addresses the traumatic Sandy Lake Ojibwe removal and includes nonfiction backmatter, an author's note, and discussion questions.
