In the final chapters, family becomes an important theme. In Miig's group, each mamber has found a new family. They are not related by blood. But they are bound together not only by their indigeneity and the need for survival, but also by relationships of care and love. French ultimately realizes that found family is just as important as blood family. When he finds his father, the group believes that he will leave them for his "real" family. But French tells them they are just as real as his blood family. Dimaline highlights this when French speaks of having two fathers—Jean and Miig—and when he is willing to leave his father to go after Rose.
