The short story followed a mother and son as they attempted to cross the border to visit the sister, who lived in Utah. The passage focused on the time that the mother and son spent at the border, due to their identification as being Blackfoot, and refusal to conform to identifying as Canadian or American. This passage is a central part of the story, since it addresses the issues of identity that the mother and son face regarding their identity of being Blackfoot.
