Red Wolf

At the end of the nineteenth century, both wolves and Canada's Native peoples are regarded as threats to be removed from the land to make way for logging and European settlement. Crooked Ear, a young timber wolf, watches as his family is slaughtered by lumberjacks. Starving and lonely, he is befriended by Red Wolf, a boy from the Anishnaabe Nation. But soon Red Wolf is forced to attend residential school, where his identity is reduced to a number and a new name: George.
And Crooked Ear is alone once more.
When the boy escapes from the school, Crooked Ear joins him. Pursued by the government agent and with the winter closing in, they make the perilous trip back to the reserve. Can Red Wolf's parents protect him from the Mounties who capture runaway children? And after years of indoctrination, where does he fit in? Has he become George?
