β¦ Synopsis
Tilly has always known shes part Lakota on her dads side. Shes grown up with the traditional teachings of her grandma, relishing the life lessons of her beloved mentor. But it isnt until an angry man shouts something on the street that Tilly realizes her mom is Aboriginal, tooa Cree woman taken from her own parents as a baby.
Tilly feels her mothers pain deeply. Shes always had trouble fitting in at school, and when her grandma dies unexpectedly, her anchor is gone. Then Abby, a grade seven classmate, invites her home for lunch and offers her something special to drink. Nothing has prepared Tilly for the tingling in her legs, the buzz in her head and the awesome feeling that she can do anything. From then on, partying seems to offer an escape from her insecurities. But after one dangerously drunken evening, Tilly knows she has to change. Summoning her courage, she begins the long journey to finding pride in herself and her heritage. Just when she needs it most, a mysterious stranger offers some wise counsel: Never question who you are or who your people are. Its in your eyes. I know its in your heart.
Loosely based on author Monique Gray Smiths own life, this revealing, important work of creative non-fiction tells the story of a young Indigenous woman coming of age in Canada in the 1980s. With compassion, insight and humour, Gray Smith illuminates the 20th-century history of Canadas First Peoplesforced displacement, residential schools, tuberculosis hospitals, the Sixties Scoop. In a spirit of hope, this unique story captures the irrepressible resilience of Tilly, and of Indigenous peoples everywhere
