Hi Ian!

Thanks for your question. It's a good one that I've been asked several times now, so I'm going to write a blog post about it and also list the books that I referenced when researching the novel. I’ll post it here when I’m done, probably tomorrow.

Thanks again!

“...it's technically impossible for a woman to argue against feminism. Without feminism you wouldn't be allowed to have a debate on a woman's place in society. You'd be too busy giving birth on the kitchen floor -- biting down on a wooden spoon, so as not to disturb the men's card game -- before going back to hoeing the rutabaga field.”
Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman

“English is so hierarchical. In Cree, we don't have animate-inanimate comparisons between things. Animals have souls that are equal to ours. Rocks have souls, trees have souls. Trees are 'who,' not 'what.”
Tomson Highway

“The dead don't hang on, the living do. The dead don't have anything to hang on to. Our bodies become nothing, and we just float around the people who love us. We go back to nothing. That is all we ever were or should ever be.”
Katherena Vermette, The Break
