Xavier visits the Manawan community, Atikamekw territory, and meets Karine Wasiana Echaquan to talk about the legend “Wendigo”. In addition, Xavier visits the Pessamit community, Innu territory, and meets Grégoire Canapé to talk about the legend “Ashten”. Through these two legends, we meet young members of communities to pass on knowledge, values and life lessons, while perpetuating the tradition of oral transmission.
