The Shoe Boy

University of British Columbia Press

The Shoe Boy is a first-person account written by Duncan McCue who, as a 17-year-old Anishinaabe young man, spent five months living in a one-room hunting cabin with a James Bay Cree family in the wilderness of northern Quebec. The cover design has a gritty, youthful, and retrospective appeal and incorporates a small collection of McCue’s Polaroid images from this time.
