Pickpick

Taking #landback protests to a new level, two Metis youth move a herd of bison into a downtown Edmonton park. Activist Grey is determined to make a real difference while Ezzy, whose been in & out of institutions, his whole life, just wants to support Grey. Their plan works, sort of. But if course there are no easy fixes to colonialism or its impact on generations. Helping the bison doesn't save Grey or Ezzy from having to find their own path.

merelybookish Lots to like about this novel AND I found it took me a long time to read. The novel flips back and forth between their perspectives. I preferred Ezzy's as the writing of Grey's character didn't work as well for me. 6mo

Feeling so many feels while reading this history and present-day telling of American Indians. Anger, sadness, respect, empathy... but mostly anger. Greed and hierarchy are humanity's biggest downfall. F*ck the Neolithic Revolution. 12,000 years later, and this current state of Earth is the result.
Happy Earth Day 🙃
