Fast-becoming an uber-fan of SG Jones, this is a 3-volume graphic novel of time traveling in an effort to prevent an environmental apocalypse. At its core, stop the colonization of the Americas.

#IndigenousPeoples’ Day: #LGBTQ+ films, TV shows, and docs to watch

Bernardo Sim, Mon, October 13, 2025

"Hollywood has had a long history of excluding Indigenous peoples from mainstream media — often turning real stories and individuals into senseless caricatures that are more widely understood by the general public.

"Thankfully, several young #Indigenous writers, directors, actors, musicians, and performance artists have been actively fighting back in recent years to reclaim narratives, be accurately visible, and have ownership of their own stories.

"Though we’re still far from an ideal standard, reflecting on this painful history and looking forward to a more equitable future are great activities to honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Below, a list of films, TV shows, and documentaries that center and/or feature LGBTQ+ Indigenous identities."

A BREATHTAKINGLY ORIGINAL FUSION of European and Indigenous American mythologies adds a dimension of supernatural horror to a novel already overflowing with the everyday horrors of colonialism and rapacious profiteering. Beyond stunning. SOLID A

I have finally set aside more time for reading and have got back in to reading Quality of Light
by Richard #Wagamese

I really love how Richard #writes. He so effectively evokes the emotion he is building for that moment.

I am just a hundred and some #pages in, and it is a wonderful read so far.

Picked up a free copy of this wonderful book from a fellow local free library that's a few blocks from my home. It's in mint condition. One of several #books on my reading wishlist.

Theory of Crows by David A. Robinson.

[David A. Robertson is an author and graphic novelist based in Winnipeg. The multi-talented writer of Swampy Cree heritage has published several books across a variety of genres, including picture books On the Trapline and When We Were Alone, graphic novel Breakdown, and his memoir Black Water, which won two 2021 Manitoba Book Awards.

Robertson is the winner of the 2021 Freedom to Read Award. He was also the host of the CBC Edmonton podcast Kiwew.

Robertson curated a reading list about residential schools on Twitter, then adapted the list for CBC Books.]

Poetry readers, I highly recommend A FAMILY OF DREAMERS by indigenous poet Samantha Nock.

Here is an excerpt from her poem "Ceremony"

"touch your spine.
is it there?

touch your lungs.
are they okay?
now pull out your ribcage.

cut your hair and weave a mat with the strands.
stretch your skin over your bones and enter
your shelter.

light a fire, never let it go out."

BRILLIANT, AUDACIOUS HORROR novel combines thriller and slasher traditions with a strong evocation of the bitter, implacable harshness of an Idaho winter and the lingering power of Indigenous stories. A MINUS
