Keetsahnak: Our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Sisters by Maria Campbell, Kim Anderson, Christi Belcourt

4.0

Since August, I have been working on this collection of critical essays on colonial and gendered violence against Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. I recommend to all those looking for academic Indigenous perspectives on the MMIWG2S crisis. I finished it recently and I keep thinking back to certain essays and their impactful words.

This is a book I read a chapter or two a week and finished it over a couple months. It's full of important voices that need to be heard but not rushed. This way, I could absorb each essay and spend time thinking on the message of it. Different experiences of racism, misogyny, and genocide in Canada. Different strategies to combat the violence against Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. I will keep my eyes open for a personal copy as this was a library book. It's a good one to have to reference back to.
