But the satisfying rhythms of their lives are shattered when a visitor comes to their lodge one winter night, bringing with him an invisible enemy that will change things forever. In between, Omakayas fights with her annoying little brother, Pinch, plays with the adorable baby, Neewo, and tries to be grown-up like her beautiful older sister, Angeline. Every summer the family builds a new birchbark house every fall they go to ricing camp to harvest and feast they move to the cedar log house before the first snows arrive, and celebrate the end of the long, cold winters at maple-sugaring camp. Although the chimookoman, white people, encroach more and more on their land, life continues much as it always has. For as long as Omakayas can remember, she and her family have lived on the land her people call the Island of the Golden-Breasted Woodpecker. Omakayas, a seven-year-old Native American girl of the Ojibwa tribe, lives through the joys of summer and the perils of winter on an island in Lake Superior in 1847.
