****Empire of Wild by Cherie Dimaline

LibraryThing.com Early Review
Indigenous Canadian Literature

A social commentary on the exploitation and oppression of indigenous people through religion. Developers use the work of Christian Missionaries to purposefully attract and distract aborigines in order to buy up their land for industrial and domestic expansion. The author adopts the legends from her native Metis culture to tell this contemporary story of colonial racism. A captivating, insightful read.
