We Are All Treaty People by Roger Epp

This novel is an excellent look at the rural prairies of Western Canada. Insightful and eloquent, Epp brings a sense of nostalgia to anyone who has grown up in a small prairie town. He gives an important and interesting perspective on the rich histories and current social and political issues of the prairies. Whether it's through farming, economy, settlers, the Mennonites, or Aboriginal Peoples, "We Are All Treaty People" is an informative look at these diverse and complex communities. He perfectly encapsulates the truth and beauty of this country, what it means to be from these areas (positive and negative) and how these experiences distinguish us from people who only know life in an urban landscape.

Rating: Slow Clap It.
