As Tsiko grows into manhood, he accepts Christianity and witnesses the painful destruction of his people by the constant and vicious attacks by the neighboring Iroquois. Set in the mid 1600s, this story paints a vivid picture of the Canadian Jesuit missionaries and their patient work with the peaceful Huron people.
