Faye and the Dangerous Journey: An Ojibwe Removal Survival Story -- Kim Sigafus, Library Binding

In the fall of 1850, Faye and her family begin a long, difficult journey with thousands of other Ojibwe people to receive money the U.S. government owes them. But why isn't the money being delivered to them in Wisconsin, as usual? Why must they walk and canoe all the way to the middle of Minnesota in terrible weather? These are questions Faye asks, but the answers don't make sense. When her family reaches their destination, Mama is sick, and there is no money as promised. Will Faye and her family make it back home? Will there be a home to return to? In this gripping story with nonfiction backmatter--including an author's note, discussion questions, and more--readers will learn about the traumatic events of the Sandy Lake Ojibwe removal in this Girls Survive historical fiction.
