Tanya Talaga, the bestselling author of Seven Fallen Feathers,
calls attention to an urgent global humanitarian crisis among
Indigenous Peoples -- youth suicide. "Talaga's research is
meticulous and her journalistic style is crisp and uncompromising.
She brings each story to life, skillfully weaving the stories of
the youths' lives, deaths, and families together with sharp
analysis... The book is heartbreaking and infuriating, both an
important testament to the need for change and a call to action."
-- Publishers Weekly *Starred Review* "Talaga has crafted an urgent
and unshakable portrait of the horrors faced by Indigenous teens
going to school in Thunder Bay, Ontario... Talaga's incisive
research and breathtaking storytelling could bring this community
one step closer to the healing it deserves." -- Booklist *Starred
Review* In this urgent and incisive work, bestselling and
award-winning author Tanya Talaga explores the alarming rise of
youth suicide in Indigenous communities in Canada and beyond. From
Northern Ontario to Nunavut, Norway, Brazil, Australia, and the
United States, the Indigenous experience in colonized nations is
startlingly similar and deeply disturbing. It is an experience
marked by the violent separation of Peoples from the land, the
separation of families, and the separation of individuals from
traditional ways of life -- all of which has culminated in a
spiritual separation that has had an enduring impact on generations
of Indigenous children. As a result of this colonial legacy, too
many communities today lack access to the basic determinants of
health -- income, employment, education, a safe environment, health
services -- leading to a mental health and youth suicide crisis on
a global scale. But, Talaga reminds us, First Peoples also share a
history of resistance, resilience, and civil rights activism. Based
on her Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy series, All Our
Relations is a powerful call for action, justice, and a better,
more equitable world for all Indigenous Peoples.
