Merging together various storytelling traditions – oral, written, and visual – this is a powerful anthology, commemorating Canada’s indigenous peoples.
There are stories of the past, the present, and the future.
As one reviewer said, these are post-apocalyptic tales – indigenous
cultures worldwide have lived – still live – in post-apocalyptic worlds, thanks
to Western colonisation.
