Stories from the Magic Canoe of Wa'xaidby Cecil PaulTold in Cecil Paul's singular, vernacular voice, Stories from the Magic Canoe spans a lifetime of experience, suffering, and survival. This beautifully produced volume is in Cecil's own words, as told to Briony Penn and other friends, and has been meticulously transcribed. Stories from the Magic Canoe provides a valuable documented history of a generation that continues to deal with the impacts of brutal colonization and environmental change at the hands of politicians, industrialists, and those who willingly ignore the power of ancestral lands and traditional knowledge.

Mamaskatch : A Cree Coming of Age by Darrel J. McleodGrowing up in the tiny village of Smith, Alberta, Darrel J. McLeod was surrounded by his Cree family's history. In shifting and unpredictable stories, his mother, Bertha, shared narratives of their culture, their family, and the cruelty that she and her sisters endured in residential school. The fractured narrative of Mamaskatch mirrors Bertha's attempts to reckon with the trauma and abuse she faced in her own life, and captures an intensely moving portrait of a family of strong personalities, deep ties, and the shared history that both binds and haunts them. Beautifully written, honest, and thought-provoking, Mamaskatch - named for the Cree word used as a response to dreams shared - is ultimately an uplifting account of overcoming personal and societal obstacles.

If I Go Missingby Brianna JonnieIf I Go Missing is derived from excerpts of a letter that went viral and was also the basis of a documentary film. In her letter, Jonnie calls out the authorities for neglecting to immediately investigate missing Indigenous people and urges them to "not treat me as the Indigenous person I am proud to be" if she were to be reported missing. Indigenous artist Neal Shannacappo provides the artwork. Through his illustrations, he imagines a situation in which a young Indigenous woman does disappear, portraying the reaction of her community, her friends, the police, and media. COMING SOON!
