Dystopian Tropes from an Indigenous Perspective (Online)

You’re invited to a riveting conversation with bestselling author Waubgeshig Rice to chat about his newest book Moon of the Turning Leaves, the hotly anticipated sequel to the bestselling novel Moon of the Crusted Snow.

It’s been over a decade since a mysterious cataclysm that toppled infrastructure and thrust the world into anarchy. Evan Whitesky led his community in remote northern Ontario, where they’ve been living off the land, rekindling their Anishinaabe traditions in total isolation from the outside world.
