Summary:
"
Wapke
-- meaning 'tomorrow' in the Atikamekw language -- is Quebec's first collection of
science
fiction
short
stories
by
Indigenous
writers. Fourteen authors from various nations and different backgrounds project us into the future through their moving, poetic, worrying and sometimes fantastical tales, addressing current social, political and environmental themes. From time travelling
Indigenous
warriors to rebellious language and knowledge keepers, from Big Trees in a lake to a human sausage factory, from living on the land to living in cyberspace, these
stories
provide a trans-Indigenous colonial critique.The brainchild of Michel Jean,
Wapke
can be read on different levels: as pure entertainment for sci-fi fans or as a stimulant to serious reflection. It offers an often-captivating social commentary that reveals how
Indigenous
people view the future as well as a hope that change will come."--Provided by publisher.
