Summary:
Adam
's
Tree
is a fictional account of life on the Cowesses First Nation in Saskatchewan during the 1940'
s
and 50'
s
.This period in history finds forces like regulatory policy, World War II, systemic racism, and the long reach of the depression defining reserve life and rural relationships. These short
stories
are told from the perspective of various characters on the reserve: an Indigenous teenage girl named Sophie, men who return to Cowesses after the war, struggling with untreated and unacknowledged PTSD, settlers like the local school teacher and the 'Indian agent'. This book contributes to the dialogue on reconciliation, freeing Indigenous voices during a period of time that is rarely written about. It encourages readers to examine the sources and meaning of today'
s
inheritance of complex relations.
