All over Canada, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are duking it out with Jack Layton’s New Democrats and the struggling Liberals in a bid to win a majority government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’m in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to see Stan Beardy, the Nishawbe-Aski Nation’s grand chief, to interview him for a story on why it is indigenous people never seem to vote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe receptionist at the NAN’s office greets me and ushers me into a large, common meeting room to wait for Stan. Everything in the room is grey — the walls, the tubular plastic tables, the carpets. The only splash of colour is a large white flag with a bear on it that has been tacked to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Great White Bear stands in the centre of a red circle, in the middle of the flag. The white bear is the traditional symbol of the life of the North American Indian. The red circle background is symbolic of the Red Man. His feet are standing, planted firmly on the bottom line, representing the Earth while his head touches the top line, symbolic to his relationship to the Great Spirit in the sky. The bear is stretched out, arms and feet open wide, to show he has nothing to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are circles joining the bear’s rib cage. They are the souls of the people, indigenous songs, and legends. The circles are the ties that bind all the clans together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese circles also offer protection. Without them, the ribcage would expose the great bear’s beating heart and leave it open to harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan walks in and greets me warmly, his brown eyes twinkling as he takes a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan is pensive, quiet, and patient.

This is the curse of my mixed blood. I am the daughter of a half-Anish mom and a Polish father.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI ramble off abysmal voting pattern statistics across Canada, while pointing out that in many ridings indigenous people could act as a swing vote, influencing that riding and hence the trajectory of the election.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan stares at me impassively.

Every time I try to engage him, asking him about why indigenous people won’t get in the game and vote, he begins talking about the disappearance of fifteen-year-old Jordan Wabasse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a frustrating exchange, like we were speaking two different languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Indigenous voters could influence fifty seats across the country if they got out and voted but they don’t. Why?” I ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Why aren’t you writing a story on Jordan Wabasse? He has been gone seventy-one days now,” replies Stan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Stephen Harper has been no friend to indigenous people yet if everyone voted, they could swing the course of this election,” I continue, hoping he’ll bite at the sound of Harper’s name. The man is no friend of the Indians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“They found a shoe down by the water. Police think it might have been his,” replies Stan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis went on for a good fifteen minutes. I was annoyed. I knew a missing Grade 9 indigenous student in Thunder Bay would not make news in urban Toronto at Canada’s largest daily newspaper. I could practically see that election bus rolling away without me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen I remembered my manners and where I was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was sitting with the elected grand chief of 23,000 people and he was clearly trying to tell me something.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI tried a new tactic. I’d ask about Jordan and then I’d swing around and get him to talk about elections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Stan said: “Jordan is the seventh student to go missing or die while at school.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan says their names: “Reggie Bushie.

A scattered taxi slogs by carrying fiendish-looking passengers who attempt to discreetly smoke from barely cracked windows. Discretion is a skill they have fallen out with but they don’t know that yet. They still fancy themselves stealth, piling four parka-plied humans into a single toilet stall, scarves dangling beneath the door, telling tails on them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume control is a thing of delusion in the confined spaces they inhabit. It will be years before this is fully realized by those who escape the scene or are thrown into adulthood by overdose or pregnancy. These lucky few will feel overwhelmingly, retroactively embarrassed by their one-time rock star fantasies. Olive can hear them bawling about their supposed betrayals as clouds of tobacco smoke and slurry syllables updraft skyward through the slightly parted window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Olive forgives them their make-believe follies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are no better or worse than most of the half well-off, half grown-up humans she has met. They are just flawed and vulnerable to the pitch. Olive is no different. She has chased the white dragon into smoky rooms where grad students complained about unkindly thesis feedback while wearing thousand dollar watches. A holiday-tanned winter wrist, a baggie held aloft, another Volvo fob serving key bumps round the ring. Under such circumstances, Olive is for the most part silent. She can pass for one of them until she releases language into the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlive often holds her rural tongue for fear of being found out. She is not a card-carrying member of the townie majority. And rarely are there other fugitive faces for Olive to hide behind on nights when she wants to get on the go. There was a Mexican painter once. A Russian musician. There was the one Pakistani fellow whose name Olive could never recall. She did not think it was unpronounceable, she just could not pronounce it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are lots of words still beyond her reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike Olive can think of no words to describe the pain felt where her pants nearly meet her feet. She winces and tucks her chin farther inside her coat. She tries to push her neck back to save from catching skin in the zipper. She sniffs back hard and swallows a slippery lob. Her grandmother would not approve of hoarding mucus in the body but her grandmother would not approve of much of what she does lately. Olive sighs and swells and swallows spit to slide the lob along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOllie my dollie, get a tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer grandmother’s voice is always a program running in the back of her mind. But Olive can’t sacrifice a tissue on mere mucus this morning. Her store of napkins is running low and the last time she tried to hock and spit the wind gust blew snot back onto her sleeve. The line of mucus running from her lips to her elbow turned her weak stomach over. A middle-aged woman in a bright blue Canada Goose coat muttered oh for the love of god as she hurried past the translucent boundary. This made Olive feel gross.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe swallows that gross feeling down again while she waits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe can distract herself for a time from the damp soak settling in her heels by watching the craven-faced respectable people meander to their grown-up jobs after a weekend of pretending to be twenty-five. They are not twenty-five. They are not even thirty-five and feel as such. Most internally promise to stay home with the kids next weekend as they turn their faces to or from the sunshine depending on the quantity of painkillers ingested in the car. This temporary commitment to sobriety is bookended by revolving party systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome relish vitamin D while others resent it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe division will not last long, though, as the sun already has started to duck back inside the nimbostratus. It will storm again today as surely as the nearly forty will go out again in four days’ time. The babysitter will be called. The cat will be let in. They will flee their houses for a little look around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet the stink of house off ya.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey will reliably cloak this smell of domestication in alcohol and nicotine and self-loathing until Monday. Mondays are for quitting everything. Again. Except when it storms on Monday. Then quitting everything is pushed to Tuesday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday is such a Tuesday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe weekend warriors refuse to sell out and so have fully bought in pound for pound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlive is just the same. She too had been sold the notion of party drugs as lazy fun and then fast gobbled them hand over fist. Swallow, snort, smoke; ingestion is an irrelevant matter of personal preference and ease. There is no wall to wall them out. Or in. Drug trends are trendingalong regardless of national media reports daily updating all on their progress east and upward. Olive has watched the same scenes play out on repeat in dark corners of the late night since arriving in Sin Jawns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd they’ve gone and stashed the kits everywhere to protect against the siren call. A first line of defence kept behind wine bars. Under the bathroom sink. In purses. And Olive knows she must address the long list of reasons why self-medicare is needed to comfort her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually. \u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"The lure of Coles’s often glorious use of language and the importance of reading books that do exactly what Small Game Hunting does — force the reader to face truths that have been hidden and swept away for far too long, to be made uncomfortable and prompted to think rather than be simply entertained — are reason enough to give this up-and-coming author’s new work serious consideration.","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"Quill and Quire","OtherText_Review_1":"What recommends this novel most is the way its author stays with her characters’ hurt, how she holds it without reverence but understands how those wounds can motivate like nothing else . . .

The hope that sees women, both tattered and changed by the work of male violence and power, not at a loss for agency or warmth. In the end, Coles’s powerful novel is a tale of resilience.","OtherText_Review_3_Src":"Rabble.ca","OtherText_Review_4":"Early in Small Game Hunting, a Nigerian immigrant asks the heroine about her true origins: ‘You don’t look all white,’ he says. In other words, this is not your traditional Newfoundland novel of social isolation. Instead, Megan Gail Coles portrays the harsh existence of the islanders as emblematic of the human condition itself. The characters’ lives unfold around a fine restaurant. They are physically and emotionally crippled by their society’s devastating inequalities, the women psychologically maimed by repeated sexual assault. Coles’s narrator storms against the status quo in a kinetic novel that dazzles, challenges, and exhilarates.","OtherText_Review_4_Src":"Scotiabank Giller Prize Jury Citation","OtherText_Review_5":"Beautifully fluid writing pulls the reader right in and keeps them gliding along.
