Summary:
"From global art superstar Kent Monkman and his long-time collaborator Gisle Gordon, a transformational work of true stories and imagined history that will remake readers' understanding of the land called North America. For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character -- an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named
Miss

Testickle
. Though we have glimpsed her across the years in films and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words. And, in doing so, to hear the whole history of Turtle Island anew. The
Memoirs
of
Miss
Chief
Eagle
Testickle
: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island is a genre-demolishing work of genius, the imagined history of a legendary figure through which profound truths emerge -- a deeply Cree and gloriously queer understanding of our shared world, its past, its present, and its possibilities. Volume One, which covers the period from the creation of the universe to the confederation of Canada, follows
Miss
Chief
as she moves through time, from a complex lived experience of Cree cosmology to the arrival of European settlers, many of whom will be familiar to students of history. An open-hearted being, she tries to live among those settlers, and guide them to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and the world itself. As their numbers grow, though, so does conflict, and
Miss
Chief
begins to understand that the challenges posed by the hordes of newly arrived Europeans will mean ever greater danger for her, her people, and, by extension, all of the world she cherishes. Blending history, fiction, and memoir in bold new ways, The
Memoirs
of
Miss
Chief
Eagle
Testickle
are unlike anything published before. And in their power to reshape our shared understanding, they promise to change the way we see everything that lies ahead."--Publisher.
