- We survived the night : an Indigenous reckoning / by NoiseCat, Julian Brave,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A stunning debut work of narrative nonfiction from one of the most powerful Indigenous story-tellers at work in Canada today, We Survived the Night combines investigative journalism, colonial history, Salish Coyote stories and a deeply personal father-son journey in a searing yet uplifting portrait of contemporary Indigenous life. Born to a charismatic Sécwepemc artist from a tiny reserve in the interior of B.C. and a Jewish-Irish woman from Westchester County, N.Y., Julian Brave NoiseCat grew up in a swirl of contradictions. He was the spitting image of his dad, but was raised mostly by his white mother in the urban Native community of Oakland, CA. He became a competitive powwow dancer, travelling the North American circuit, but despite being embraced by his family, he felt like an outsider when he spent time on his home reserve -- drawn to his father's world, his Indigenous heritage and identity, but struggling to make sense of his place in it. Struggling also to make sense of the swirling damage his alcoholic father -- who could turn into "a brawling Indian super vigilante in the mould of Billy Jack" out to kick colonialism in the ass -- had caused to those he loved. So in his twenties, NoiseCat set out to uncover and tell the story of his father, of his Coyote People -- the Interior Salish nations almost extirpated by the apocalyptic horsemen of colonialism -- which soon rippled out, in five years of on-the-ground reporting, into the stories of other First Peoples in the United States and Canada, as NoiseCat attempted to counter the erasure, invisibility and misconceptions surrounding them. We Survived the Night paints a profound, inspiring and unforgettable portrait of Indigenous life, entwined with a deeply powerful reckoning between a father and a son seeking a path to a future full of possibilities -- for himself and all the children of Turtle Island"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; NoiseCat, Julian Brave.; Fathers and sons; Indigenous peoples; Secwepemc;

Abandoned by her mother last summer, twelve-year-old Truly has settled into her new life living with Andy El, the Salish Elder who runs the trailer park. Truly eagerly awaits the postcards she receives from the King of Rock 'n Roll, Elvis Presley, who now tours as an Elvis Impersonator. When he sends Truly a second-hand guitar as a Christmas gift, she learns to play and discovers that her growing love of music deepens her friendship with twins Agnes and Linda, Andy El's Granddaughters. Truly's new world is shattered with the unexpected return of her mother, Clarice, who wants another shot at being a good mom. Truly is now faced with deciding whether or not she can trust Clarice and must ultimately choose if she is willing to give up the peace and security of her comfortable life with Andy El and her new family to give Clarice a second chance"--- Subjects: Presley, Elvis, 1935-1977; Postcards; Elvis Presley impersonators; Mother and child; Indigenous children; Indian reservations; Dysfunctional families; Mothers and daughters;
