Description
A provocative and thought-provoking novel about two cousins who take drastic action to bring attention to their community's struggles. Ezzy and Grey Desjarlais, Métis cousins from the prairie, are fed up with the status quo. They're frustrated by racist policies, pipeline projects, and the erasure of their people's history. In a bold move, they decide to release a herd of bison into downtown Edmonton, sparking chaos and unexpected change. Through witty satire and sharp storytelling, Conor Kerr explores themes of identity, community, and the power of individual action. As Ezzy and Grey navigate the consequences of their actions, Kerr sheds light on the complex relationships within Métis culture and the enduring bonds between people and land.
