- Synopsis
- Literary Nonfiction. Native American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Memoir. Winner of the 2019 Writers' Trust of Canada Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Emerging Writers. Winner of the 2019 Quebec Writers' Federation Concordia University First Book Prize. 2019 Quebec Writers' Federation Mavis Gallant Prize finalist for Non-Fiction. 2019 Indigenous Voices Award finalist for Published Prose in English. 2019 Lambda Literary Award finalist for Lesbian Memoir. Jas M. Morgan's NÎTISÂNAK honours blood and chosen kin with equal care. A groundbreaking memoir spanning nations, prairie punk scenes, and queer love stories, it is woven around grief over the loss of their mother. It also explores despair and healing through community and family, and being torn apart by the same. Using cyclical narrative techniques and drawing on Nixon's Cree, Saulteaux, and Métis ancestral teachings, this work offers a compelling perspective on the connections that must be broken and the ones that heal.
