What the Ancestors Say

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In this astonishing book, Sierra Biidaaban Nadeau weaves many voices into a narrative masterpiece. 'I am the word my ancestors were forced to swallow,' she writes. These pages are haunted: by generations that were silenced, by broken treaties, and by Nadeau's own lived experience of intergenerational trauma. What makes this work so powerful is that it is so relatable, so personal, not just to the author but to all of its readers as well.”
