An enlightening and affecting historical novel that explores the relationships and interactions between Indigenous and Black peoples in the early to mid 1800's within the southwestern Ontario region.  This book explores how both Indigenous and Black peoples' connections to the land have been impacted by colonialism - and how that influenced their relationships with each other.

It was challenging to keep track of the many character names and oral histories within the book, and I often could not stay within the flow of the story.  But I was greatly rewarded by my efforts - I am sure that a reread of this book would be helpful and and provide an even more impactful experience.
