Written by Ruby Slipperjack Ferral, an Ojibway writer and educator, Weesquachak And The Lost Ones tells the story of a nineteen years old girl who feels trapped in her life, her loneliness and her struggle to realize her Self. The experiences are natural and autobiographical. In fact, Ruby is palpably present in her works. In Weesquachak And The Lost Ones she becomes Janine (full of hopes and uncertainties, ready to run into city life that seems to promise her liberation and good life, yet unable to cut herself off the roots), in Honour The Sun 'the Owl' (a young girl growing up in an isolated Annishnawbe community in North western Ontario), and in Silent Words Danny Lynx ( a boy on a long journey moving through various Native communities). This way Ms Slipperjack assumes the role of that native trickster character 'Whee-skay-chak' who is supposed to have the power of transformation. The article discusses inner conflict and crisis that arises from one's environment. The crisis become worse when we start liking the ways of living that are other than our own. Exactly this happens to Charlie making her otherwise simple choices extremely difficult – and the collateral damage is emotional isolation
