Waiting for the Long Night Moon by Amanda Peters

This is a fantastic collection of short stories, covering the Indigenous experience in Canada.
I actually cried when I read Homecoming, which is about a child who has returned home after surviving eleven years in residential school and he can no longer understand his parents, because he’s been forced to give up his language.
There are also stories about MMIWG, Le Grand Dérangement told from the POV of an Indigenous family, and so many others.
This is a beautifully written book, and while not always easy to read, it was a quick read.
