Description
Told by Jack Otter, written by Ruth DyckFehderau and the James Bay Cree Storytellers, and translated by Patricia Ningewance. When Jack is 18, he's diagnosed with diabetes but isn't told he can do anything about it, so he doesn't. He falls into comas, he loses vision and needs eye surgery, his leg is amputated and then amputated again further up, and then his kidneys give right out. In Ojibwe and English.
