Under the Stars at Rainy River

By Mno Kenora Metis Council

Ten-year old Meng is homesick and lonely after moving to Fort Frances, Ontario. How will she make friends? Who will want to play with her? Befriended by Wendy, the M tis lady next door, and Pepper, Wendy's rambunctious dog, Meng gradually comes to learn about the vibrant M tis community around her. She's introduced to M tis culture and history, and in the process, learns how to fish, make a shore lunch, and dance the M tis jig. Under the Stars at Rainy River is a children's book about the importance of making friends and being curious. It's also about the generations of M tis who have helped make Fort Frances, and other places in what is now part of the M tis community located throughout Northwestern Ontario, a special place to live today.
