Not for the faint of heart, but still highly recommended. My review:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"...Maria Campbell's family, a mixture of "Scottish, French, Cree, English, Irish" who "spoke a language completely different from the people around them, was "a combination of everything, hunters, trappers and ak-ee-top [pretend] farmers." Born in 1940 where ancient Cree rituals were practiced alongside Catholic ceremony, Maria writes this story for all of you, to tell you what it is like to be a Halfbreed woman in our country. "I want to tell you about the joys and sorrows, the oppressing poverty, the frustrations and the dreams."..."
(J.L., p. 46)
