<p>When low-level flying by NATO jets upsets their way of life, Nanass, a young Innu girl, is eager to join her father and the other members of her Sheshatshiu community in protest. Then her father and other protesters are arrested. <\/p>
\n<p>Nanass has little to comfort her, except her father’s well-worn ball cap and the promise of the land itself that the Innu people will one day triumph. <\/p>
\n<p>Bob Bartel participated in the efforts to stop those NATO flights; he learned Nanass’s story from her aunt, and has Nanass’s permission to tell it. Bartel portrays with both power and subtlety the struggle as seen from a child’s perspective. Illustrations by acclaimed Innu artist Mary Ann Penashue capture the gentle relationship between Nanass and her family, and highlight the beauty and dignity of her people’s culture. <\/p>
\n<p><i>Nutaui’s Cap<\/i> has been translated into two dialects of Innu-aimun, which appear alongside the English; it includes an extensive glossary, map, and backgrounder to tell more of the Innu’s story. <\/p>
