Loved the different forms of poetry used to tell the story of the Northwest Rebellion, Dumont, and the Métis. They lended themselves well to their specific poems.

Enjoyed this little book thoroughly and learned something about the Manitoba Metis people as well. I especially appreciate and relate to the pieces based on women's experience.

Marilyn Dumont is an incredible poet, and The Pemmican Eaters lives up to my high expectations. She infuses vital history with vivid emotion in a way that just feels... painful and perfect.

Highly recommended.
