Macleans.ca Culture Books The Great Canadian Novel gets a new face The novel is partly a tribute to Francis Pegahmagabow, a real-life Ojibway sniper who survived the war intact -- and with an astonishing record of 378 enemy kills. Their three-day canoe trip, during which Xavier's memories of himself and his fellow Cree sniper Elijah Weesageechak emerge, parallels the Ojibway belief in the soul's three-day journey from the body to the spirit world. That's certainly something worth restoring to the national memory, especially for Boyden, who is acutely attuned to the "big part played in my life by the small part of my ancestry that's native." Part Metis, Boyden, 38, grew up in Toronto, but spent his childhood summers near Georgian Bay, Ont., and often visited local reserves. macleans.ca /culture/books/article.jsp?content=20050701_108698_108698
