The story centers around a young California Indian boy named Docas, exploring his life, culture, and experiences within his community before significant changes brought by European settlers. As a work targeted at young readers, it aims to teach about indigenous peoples and traditions through engaging narratives and relatable characters. The opening of the book introduces readers to Docas, a seven-year-old California Indian boy living with his family in a rancheria near San Francisco Bay. Through various scenes, we learn about his daily life, including fishing trips with his father, gathering acorns, and the joy of playing with his little brother, Heema. The rich depiction of their traditions, such as cooking acorn mush and engaging with nature, paints a vivid picture of life in the community. The narratives emphasize the importance of family, collaboration, and the fascinating activities that occupy the children, setting the stage for adventures and stories based on actual events from Indian children's lives in California.
