From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way by Jesse Thistle

challenging inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book should be mandatory reading for all non-Indigenous Canadians. Jesse's story perfectly encapsulates the tremendous impacts and complexities of colonization, systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma. Jesse's story paints a picture of the experience of so many indigenous folks in Canada. I listened to the audiobook and really loved hearing Jesse narrate his own story. Highly highly recommend and looking forward to his next book.
