In this award-winning collection, Ruth
DyckFehderau and 27 storytellers offer a rich and timely accounting of
contemporary life in Eeyou Istchee, the territory of the James Bay Cree
of Northern Québec.
Connecting these stories is a disease – diabetes – but the stories
themselves are not records of illness as much as they are deeply
personal accounts of life in the North: the fine, swaying balances of
living both in town and on the land, of family and work and studies, of
healing from relocations and residential school histories while building
communities of safety and challenge and joy, of hunting and hockey, and
much more.
