Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City by Tanya Talaga

dark informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Seven Fallen Feathers is a portrait of not only the tragic events of itself, but the efforts to seek justice. From 2000 to 2011, 7 Indigenous high school students were murder in Thunder Bay and how the Thunder Bay Police and Canadian government failed the fate of the victims and brought them justice. The prophecy of how Indigenous parents are sending their kids to Dennis Franklin to die. Truly shows the lack of support,the outright racism in the judicial and political system, and the absence of human rights in northern ontario. 

This book fuels the anger and cries for a need for change .
