Describe the town of Manitouwadge. -What image does Wagamese portray of Northern Ontario towns? -How does this differ from urban Ontario?

Manitouwadge is a town of mines and sawmills. Saul’s new teammates live on a Native American reservation.

There is racial animosity between aboriginals and whites but this is just expected.
