They are sleepless, ceaseless, trying to alter and to recode the world of consumerism, and their survival means that they must daily and collectively reconstruct existence in the city and its coterminous forests.

The chorus of thinkers, dreamers, revolutionaries, poets, and misfits that Simpson conjures here feels like a miracle. My heart ached and swelled for all of them. What I adored most about this book is that it has so little to do with the white gaze.

Resilient as the star world from which they arise these women reconcile with their lives without giving in to the horrors they have faced. Vermette captures the reader from beginning to end.

The Break is a powerful, persuasive novel about the strength and love that bind these women to each other and to the men in their lives. The traditions and wisdom of a community are honoured, as is the exquisite individual humanity of each character.

It’s a book that explores social issues without ever preaching, or even seeming to be about them at all. It examines the only element of those issues that matter: their human impact.

And it will be a revelation. Vermette is a fully matured literary talent confronting some of our society’s fundamental problems through understated prose that exudes wisdom and emotion. Every page hides beauty amid suffering; love winning out over violence and hate.

{"id":7267103277115,"title":"Tecumseh and Brock","handle":"tecumseh-and-brock","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the dawn of the nineteenth century, the British Empire is engaged in a titanic war with Napoleonic France for global supremacy. The American Republic is quickly expanding its territory along the western frontier, while native peoples struggle to protect their lands from the relentless wave of new settlers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBestselling author and scholar James Laxer offers a fresh and compelling view of this decisive war, by bringing to life two major contests: the native peoples’ Endless War to establish nationhood and sovereignty on their traditional territories and the American campaign to settle its grievances with Britain through the conquest of Canada. At the heart of this story is the unlikely friendship and political alliance of Tecumseh, the Shawnee chief and charismatic leader of the native confederacy, and Major-General Isaac Brock, defender and protector of the British Crown.

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. He says nothing as he wearily leans back in his chair and waits for me to explain why exactly I flew 2,400 km north from Toronto to see him and talk about the federal election.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI launch into my spiel, trying not to sound like a salesperson or an interloper into his world, someone who kind of belongs here and kind of does not. 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.

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.
