- Synopsis
- In this collection of humorous essays, the narrator, Dawn, invites the reader to witness firsthand her childhood on the Okanese First Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada. Beyond the stereotypes and clichés of Rez dogs, drinking, and bingos, the story of a girl who loved to read begins to unfold. Her hopes, dreams, and indomitable humor lay bare the beauty and love within her family, while her unerring eye reveals the great family bond expressed through the actions and affections of her extended family--sisters, aunties, uncles, brothers, cousins, nieces, nephews, and ultimately her ancestors. It's all here--life on the Rez in rich Technicolor--as Dawn emerges from home life, through school life, and into the promise of a great future. This is a book that embraces cultural differences and does it with the great traditional medicine of laughter.
