Warrior Life: Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence

Warrior Life: Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence

In a moment where unlawful pipelines are built on Indigenous territories, the RCMP make illegal arrests of land defenders on unceded lands, and anti-Indigenous racism permeates on social media; the government lie that is reconciliation is exposed. Renowned lawyer, author, speaker and activist, Pamela Palmater returns to wade through media headlines and government propaganda and get to heart of key issues lost in the noise.

Warrior Life: Indigenous Resistance and Resurgence is the second collection of writings by Palmater. In keeping with her previous works, numerous op-eds, media commentaries, YouTube channel videos and podcasts, Palmater’s work is fiercely anti-colonial, anti-racist, and more crucial than ever before.

Palmater addresses a range of Indigenous issues — empty political promises, ongoing racism, sexualized genocide, government lawlessness, and the lie that is reconciliation — and makes the complex political and legal implications accessible to the public.

From one of the most important, inspiring and fearless voices in Indigenous rights, decolonization, Canadian politics, social justice, earth justice and beyond, Warrior Life is an unflinching critique of the colonial project that is Canada and a rallying cry for Indigenous peoples and allies alike to forge a path toward a decolonial future through resistance and resurgence.

I liked this book. It had lots of fun moments while keeping the seriousness of the story line. It was relatable as I have lost a few grandparents as well. I did have a few cries while reading this book. I enjoyed Anna’s friend Tia. I thought she was a great character as she is silly and supportive. I rate this book a 4/5.

I recommend this book.

The Summer between us

This was such a cute and heartwarming YA romance but it was so much more than that. This book focused on topics such as eating disorders, racism, university struggles and other social justice issues that packed a powerful punch. I loved all the characters so much and they were very well written.

I recommend this book.

Journey to The Hopewell Star

Journey to the Hopewell Star
By: Hannah. D State
Samantha Sanderson is a common 12 year old girl who lives in rural New Brunswick. She loves living secluded on her family farm and being homeschooled by her grandfather. Sam’s parents are renowned physicists and are always travelling intergalatically on government missions. They have been gone for an exceptionally long time and her grandpa is having a hard time maintaining the farm house. Sam has noticed him struggling and is worried as he has mentioned that they should move into the big city of Moncton. Sam’s birthday is quickly approaching and this will be the first time her parents are not home with her. To Sam’s surprise her parents didn’t forget about her birthday as she stumbled across a new friend who had a message and a few gifts from her parents. Shocked, perplexed and intrigued Sam finds herself travelling across the universe where she has been prophesied to save worlds by finding the Hopewell Star.
I really enjoyed the plot of this book. It is all centered around the human population and the problems that we humans have caused for our planet. My favorite characters are Boj and Kobe. It was a very entertaining novel which also highlights the problems that we are experiencing today globally. I give this book a 5/5 and I can’t wait to start reading the sequel, Journey to the Dark Galaxy.

I recommend this book.
