Around Jimmy orbit unforgettable figures: Auntie Gertie, the tough, tender matriarch; Father Binette, the well-meaning priest; Isaac Rat-Skin, the last medicine man; Ida Scow, the no-nonsense band manager; and Chief Truman Two-Faces, whose antics skewer colonial bureaucracy. At Effie’s Café—the community’s beating heart—gossip flows, love endures, and resilience reigns. Both humorous and haunting, \u003cem\u003eIndian Medicine\u003c\/em\u003e captures the spirit, struggle, and enduring strength of life on the Rabbit-Skin River Reserve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Anansi Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"trade paperback","offer_id":43279120367675,"sku":"9781487013738","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"epub","offer_id":43279121416251,"sku":"9781487013745","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/3374\/9051\/files\/9781487013738.jpg?v=1788199687","url":"https:\/\/houseofanansi.com\/products\/indian-medicine","provider":"House of Anansi Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
