Firekeeper's Daughter

Daunis has more questions than answers as she heads home to look through the mushrooms that she found. She questions why Robin was at school with a backpack if she wasn’t taking classes and then quickly reprimands herself for assuming the most obvious story about Robin and Heather—that they were dealing meth. Through her research, Daunis realizes that the mushrooms are not the key to meth-X, and instead of being deeply discouraged she remembers that part of a scientific investigation is ruling out what isn’t helpful. When Daunis presses her mother about her uncle’s journals and her grandfather’s office furniture, her mother bristles at the fact that GrandMary sold her father’s office furniture without asking her. Daunis attributes this response to her mother’s inability to deal with change.

Teddie takes Daunis for the blood test that will confirm her relationship to Teddie and her paternal lineage, for her tribal enrollment application. After Daunis drops off her application and blood test to the tribal office, she comes across Stormy, who is trying to find out if he has the ID he needs to go to a game with the team in Canada. Daunis feels bad for Stormy and offers to drive him back to his mom’s on Sugar Island to look for his passport.
