Contents:

A star is born
When I dreamed what was to come
My first encounter with a newcomer
The massacre of our beaver relatives foreshadowed what was to come
The newcomers had much to learn
Many trappers sought freedom in our forests
I summoned my admirers to honour me
The time when many nations came together
The painter who could not see

My intercourse with the Crown
I learned that they would steal everything
To help my people I made mischief with the newcomers' leaders
