Summary:
"From global art superstar Kent Monkman and his longtime collaborator Gisèle Gordon, a transformational work of imagined history that will remake readers' understanding of the land called North America.

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 a profound truth emerges -- a deeply Cree and gloriously queer understanding of our shared world, its past, and its possibilities.

Featuring many figures pulled from history as well as new individuals created for this story, volume two explores the legacy of children's work camps (called residential schools by some), the sixties scoop, and the urban disconnection of contemporary life. Ultimately, it is a story of resilience and reconnection, and charts the beginnings of an Indigenous future that is deeply rooted in an experience of Indigenous history -- a perspective
