1. Halfbreed
This autobiographical book is a powerful and candid account of a Métis woman's struggles with identity, poverty, and racism in Canada. It chronicles her journey from a difficult childhood in a small Saskatchewan community, where she faced discrimination and personal tragedies, to her efforts as an adult to find her place in a society that often marginalized Indigenous people. The narrative is a poignant exploration of the author's search for self-acceptance, cultural pride, and her fight against the systemic injustices that Indigenous communities have endured. Her story is a testament to resilience and the strength found in embracing one's heritage.
