Nick Jonas
Dan is Evan’s father and Patricia’s husband. He’s quiet, thoughtful, and reserved—and he has a lot of respect for the community’s ways. Like Evan, Dan works as a maintenance worker and council member on the reserve. He takes an active role in community life, and he conducts tobacco rituals during hunting trips. As the winter progresses, Dan and Patricia move in with Evan to conserve energy. He bolsters his family’s spirits with traditional stories that teach his grandchildren Maiingan and Nangohns Anishinaabe values.
