Chuck is going to Kitigan Zibi, an Algonquin community, where he meets Cezin Nottaway. The sun is out and the weather is perfect for Chuck to learn how to tap maple. With their snowshoes tightened, they walk through the maple trees and look for the precious liquid that maples offer during the spring: maple water. Following Cezin’s advices, Chuck carefully boils the maple water until it reaches the perfect consistency for maple syrup. As an unexpected surprise, a young boy returns with a beaver he trapped himself. Chuck is delighted that he is about to learn how to cook beaver over a fire and finally discover the taste of a “real” beaver tail.
