Résumé

In the wake of colonization, in a landscape of loss and dispossession, can we rediscover ways to share the land with other creatures and one another? When the government recently tried to abandon its responsibility to protect what little remains of the natural prairie, Trevor Herriot pushed back, only to discover an injustice haunting the lands he was trying to defend. In 1938, when the Métis of Ste.
Madeleine returned from working away, they found their homes burnt to the ground and their animals shot. The land they held in common was no longer theirs, but was now controlled by the federal government. Facing his own responsibility as a descendent of settlers, he connects today's ecological disarray to the legacy of Metis dispossession and the loss of their community lands. With Indigenous and settler people alienated from one another and from the grassland itself, hope and courage are in short supply.
This book offers both by proposing an atonement that could again bring people and prairie together.
Trevor Herriot is a prairie naturalist and the author of award-winning books, including Grass, Sky, Song and the national bestseller River in a Dry Land. A grassland activist and skilled birder, he is a frequent guest on CBC Radio, and he posts regularly on grassland culture and environmental issues on his blog Grass Notes (trevorherriot.blogspot.ca). He and his wife, Karen, live in Regina, and spend much of their time on a piece of Aspen Parkland prairie east of the city. Originally from St.
Lazare, Manitoba, Norman Fleury is a gifted storyteller and teacher. Dedicated to the conservation and promotion of the Michif language, he has contributed to dozens of language resources. He currently teaches Michif in the College of Education at the University of Saskatchewan.
