Dad
Travis is a short Indigenous man who travels with Lincoln. Wab remembers him when she sees him the first time: he was the man who set up her bogus run that resulted in being gang-raped and cut open from forehead to chest. Wab says that at that point, Travis was addicted to drugs. In the present, Travis tries to make the case that he's changed and that he never wanted Wab to get hurt. He generously invites Miig's group to join him and Lincoln for dinner and he insists that the city brings out the worst in people. This all turns out to be a trap: Travis is working with Recruiters to trick Indigenous people and bring them to the residential schools. Frenchie shoots Travis in a fit of rage after Lincoln kills RiRi.

The Other Indians
Quotes
I nodded back, copying the way he held his mouth. Yes, we would definitely do so. Us men. We'd be vigilant. Chi-Boy turned and started making his way through the trees. I watched him for a minute, and tried to listen. There was nothing—the absence of sound was the only thing the ear picked up. There was no doubt Chi-Boy was the best scout we had, probably the best scout anyone had. I followed close behind, imitating his movements.

Quotes
The schools were an ever-spreading network from the south stretching northward, on our heels like a bushfire. Always north. To what end? Now we'd lost RiRi. Now I'd shot a man. Would I even be welcome in the North? I couldn't even protect a little girl.
