Note that none of Heather’s baggies include meth, at least not that Daunis can tell. This makes it clear that while meth is certainly a problem in the Sault, there are also other drugs circulating. Daunis’s refusal to tell a story is a way of honoring her culture and her ancestors’ wisdom. Macy’s choice to tell a story anyway, then, shows that there are lots of different ways to be a part of the Tribe—and not everyone is as immersed in the traditions as Daunis is.
