A picture book celebrating Indigenous culture and traditions. The Governor General Award--winning team behind When We Were Alone shares a story that honors our connections to our past and our grandfathers and fathers. WINNER OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S AWARD A boy and Moshom, his grandpa, take a trip together to visit a place of great meaning to Moshom. A trapline is where people hunt and live off the land, and it was where Moshom grew up. As they embark on their northern journey, the child repeatedly asks his grandfather, "Is this your trapline?" Along the way, the boy finds himself imagining what life was like two generations ago -- a life that appears to be both different from and similar to his life now. This is a heartfelt story about memory, imagination and intergenerational connection that perfectly captures the experience of a young child's wonder as he is introduced to places and stories that hold meaning for his family.

David A. Robertson, the son of a Cree father and a white settler mother, grew up largely unaware of his Indigenous roots. His father, Dulas, also known as Don, was raised on a trapline but was later moved to a reserve in Manitoba, where he was prohibited from speaking his native Swampy Cree and forced to learn English in day school. Robertson's mother, Beverly Eyers, came from a small town in Manitoba without Indigenous families until she met Don, who was a United Church minister. They chose to raise their children disconnected from their Indigenous identity, leaving Robertson without his father's teachings or experiences. All he had were fragments of his heritage, embedded in his DNA, which he has spent a lifetime piecing together. This memoir explores themes of intergenerational trauma and healing, as well as the importance of connection and storytelling. It chronicles how Don's life in Norway House Cree Nation and his journey to Winnipeg shaped Robertson's own existence and potentially saved it. Together, father and son return to the trapline at Black Water, navigating the past to forge a new future.
