Colorist: Jillian Dolan; illustrator: Alina Pete
In 1944, thirteen-year-old Ilse Schweder got lost in a snowstorm while checking her family’s trapline in northern Canada. This is the harrowing story of how a young Indigenous girl defies the odds and endures nine days alone in the unforgiving barrens. Ilse faces many challenges, including freezing temperatures, wild animals, snow blindness and frostbite. With no food or supplies, she relies on traditional Indigenous knowledge passed down from her family. Ilse uses her connection to the land and animals, wilderness skills and resilience to find her way home.
