Daughters of the Deer by Danielle Daniel
goodreads
In this haunting, groundbreaking, historical novel, Danielle Daniel imagines the lives of her ancestors in the Algonquin territories of the 1600s, a story inspired by her family link to a girl murdered near Trois-Rivières in the early days of French settlement. Marie, an Algonquin woman of the Weskarini Deer Clan, lost her first husband and her children to an Iroquois raid. In the aftermath of another lethal attack, her chief begs her to remarry for the sake of the clan. Marie is a healer who honours the ways of her people, and Pierre, the green-eyed ex-soldier from France who wants her for his bride, is not the man she would choose. But her people are dwindling, wracked by white men's diseases and nearly starving every winter as the game retreats away from the white settlements. If her chief believes such a marriage will cement their alliance with the French against the Iroquois and the British, she feels she has no choice. Though she does it reluctantly, and with some fear--Marie is trading the memory of the man she loved for a man she doesn't understand at all, and whose devout Catholicism blinds him to the ways of her people. This beautiful, powerful novel brings to life women who have literally fallen through the cracks of settler histories. Especially Jeanne, the first child born of the new marriage, neither white nor Weskarini, but caught between worlds. As she reaches adolescence, it becomes clear she is two-spirited. In her mother's culture, she would have been considered blessed, her nature a sign of special wisdom. But to the settlers of New France, and even to her own father, Jeanne is unnatural, sinful--a woman to be shunned, and worse. And so, with the poignant story of Jeanne, Danielle Daniel imagines her way into the heart and mind of a woman at the origin of the long history of violence against Indigenous women and the deliberate, equally violent, disruption of First Nations culture--opening a door long jammed shut, so all of us can enter.
Mod opinion: I haven't gotten around to reading this book yet, but it sounds really interesting!

Milestone Monday
Happy World Kindness Day! Observed annually on November 13th, World Kindness Day encourages us to set aside our differences and focus on recognizing and participating in good deeds and kindness throughout our communities. In recognition of the day, we are sharing You Hold Me Up Gimanaadenim written in English by Cree author Monique Gray Smith with illustrations by Canadian First Nations author and artist Danielle Daniel, and translated to Anishinaabemowin by two UW-Milwaukee-associated Ojibwe-language specialists Angela Mesic and Margaret Noodin.
While You Hold Me Up Gimanaadenim was written to inspire children to show each other love and support, the lessons are applicable at any stage in life. Gray Smith writes that the book was written in the “spirit of Reconciliation”, coupled with Daniel’s vibrant illustrations it successfully demonstrates how to be more empathetic and build loving relationships.
You Hold Me Up was published in English in 2017 and met with many accolades including the 2017 American Indians in Children’s Literature Best Books award and 2018 Global Read Aloud award. It went on to be translated to Anishinaabemowin in 2021. Both versions were published by Orca Book Publishers out of British Columbia who notes that the translation “has been done according to more western conventions used by speakers of Anishinaabemowin. . . and matches the lexicon found in the Ojibwe People’s Dictionary.”

daniel molloy character of all time once again: like imagine you’re a 20-something drug addict and a terrible journalist on account of being 20-something and a drug addict and you randomly meet a vampire at a gay bar and you think wow I might get drugs, gay sex and a story out of this and instead what you get is psychologically and physically tortured by his husband and your memories of it all erased and then 50 years later you’re DYING and those vampires show up in your life again to ask you to write the story of their happy marriage and your memory might be fucked but ON GOD you WILL ruin that marriage if it’s the last thing you do. and then not only do you succeed and walk out of it alive, but also with a bestseller, millions in your bank account AND immortality AND the knowledge that your annoying human ass was somehow the one thing that made that 500+ year old predator so mad that he broke his lifetime vow to never turn anyone. AND, on top of that, you’re out of the CLOSET.
