In the book "Sign of the Beaver" by Elizabeth George Speare, "sigwan" is the Algonquian word for pine marten, a small, slender-bodied carnivorous mammal related to weasels and otters. In the story, Matt befriends a pine marten and names it Sigwan, symbolizing his connection to the wilderness and his ability to adapt to his new environment. The presence of Sigwan represents Matt's growing understanding and respect for the natural world around him.
