Abstract
"Set in 1837, George Bonga, Black Voyageur is a suspenseful journey exploring race, power and justice. Trekking for six days and six nights in a blistering cold Minnesota winter, legendary Boundary Waters voyagueur George Bonga is tasked with tracking down a fugitive Ojibwe warrior accused of murdering a white man. A multilingual man of mixed blood, Bonga lived on the boundaries of Black, White, and Ojibwe. Is Bonga really tracking down a murderer, or is he chasing his own demons?"
