This book invites the reader, through stunning photographs and vivid words, to accompany Giant (Michel Andrew) as he journeys 400 kilometres across northeastern Nitassinan (Labrador) on snowshoes pulling a toboggan. Inspired by his deceased grandfather's counsel conferred in a dream, Giant elicits the help of his uncle Nikashant to organize a walk to raise awareness and funds for diabetes, a disease afflicting so many of his people. Readers will cheer through their tears.
Nikashant Antane (Alex Andrew) organized and promoted Giant's Diabetes Awareness Walk in spring 2009. He is an Economic Development Officer with the Sheshatshiu First Nation Band. He continues to reserve time, especially during the spring, to bring his family to Kapinien NiPi (Gabriel Lake). Nikashant has promised Giant that he will always be available to assist him in his future journey to help others.
