Seven Fallen Feathers
Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City
Tanya Talaga
This powerful book by Tanya Talaga delves into the tragic deaths of seven Indigenous high school students in Thunder Bay, Ontario, more than a quarter century after recommendations were made to prevent another tragedy like that of twelve-year-old Chanie Wenjack. Talaga weaves a sweeping narrative, telling the stories of these students and exploring Canada's struggles with human rights violations against Indigenous communities.

I think I tweet more about @TanyaTalaga than any other person. Her fabulous book #SevenFallenFeathers, the RBC Taylor Prize, the Atkinson Fellowship, the Massey Lecture, etc. She's killing it in 2018. Couldn't happen to a nicer, more talented person. #Indigenous #journalism – source
