Kerry Wood dramatizes the life of Cree man Maskepetoon (c. 1807-1869), through his youth as an impetuous warrior leading raids against the Blackfoot, his developing leadership, and his eventual decision to promote peace among First Nations tribes in the face of white colonialism.

As a naturalist he helped establish 26 wildlife sanctuaries across North America. He received numerous awards for literature, as well as the Order of Canada. In 1969 he received an honorary doctorate of laws from the University of Alberta.
