Bawaajigan - an Anishinaabemowin word for dream or vision - is a collection of powerful literary short fiction by Indigenous writers from across Turtle Island. Stories about the connection between the spirit world and everyday life and the rest of the cosmos; urban-fantasy and high-fantasy worlds; alternative histories, and alternative realities; brushes with the supernatural, the prophetic, the hallucinatory, and the surreal. Among these themes we find stories ranging from the gritty, the gothic, the comedic, and the heart-wrenchingly tragic: a tale about the state of sleep-deprivation that conjures an uncertainty as to where dream ends and reality begins; the ominous tension of television static that conjures a certainty of something terrible about to happen; encounters with spirit guides, and spirit enemies; confrontations with ghosts haunting residential school hallways, and ghosts looking on from the afterlife; and with concepts based on Ouija boards, bead-dreamers, Haudenosaunee wizards, talking eagles, giant snakes, sacred white buffalo calves, spider's silk, a burnt and blood-stained diary, longings for what could-have-been, worm holes fallen through reality, poppy-induced deliriums, imaginary friends, and knowledge revealed. Unifying everything: these are stories about the strength and power of dreams."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 505 0 $a Ipapaino : White Buffalo Woman / Katie-Jo Rabbit -- Bead dreamer / Autumn Bernhardt -- Flight / Brittany Johnson -- The truth between us / Richard van Camp -- How Mosquito got his name / Gord Grisenthwaite -- Ptarmigan / Joanne Arnott -- Missing / Delani Valin -- Medicine walk / Cathy Smith -- Jumpers on both bridges / David Geary -- Melinda Irene and Madame Bouve / Yugcetun Anderson -- Ghost walk / Gerald Silliker Pisim Maskwa -- Ahnunggokwan / Karen Lee White -- Where they dwell / Sara General -- Silk / Nathan Niigan Noodin Adler -- The death of him came to me in my dreams / Francine Cunningham -- Dream medicine / Christine Miskonoodinkwe Smith -- The room was crowded / Lee Maracle -- Sword of antlers / Richard van Camp -- We are the Earth's dreaming / Wendy Bone. 650 0 $a Dreams $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Canadian literature $x Indian authors. 650 0 $a American literature $x Indian authors. 650 0 $a Short stories. 700 1 $a Adler, Nathan Niigan Noodin, $e editor. 700 1 $a Smith, Christine Miskonoodinkwe, $d 1973- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Bawaajigan. $d Holstein, Ontario : Exile Editions, 2019 $z 9781550968422 $z 9781550968422 $w (OCoLC)1105990602 830 0 $a Exile book of anthology series (Exile editions Ltd.); $v no. 18. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=40417C645D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
