Written specifically for young adults, reluctant readers, and literacy learners, Killing the Wittigo explains the traumatic effects of colonization on Indigenous people and communities and how trauma alters an individual's brain, body, and behavior. It explores how learned patterns of behavior -- the ways people adapt to trauma to survive -- are passed down within family systems, thereby affecting the functioning of entire communities. The book foregrounds Indigenous resilience through song lyrics and as-told-to stories by young people who have started their own journeys of decolonization, healing, and change. It also details the transformative work being done in urban and on-reserve communities through community-led projects and Indigenous-run institutions and community agencies. These stories offer concrete examples of the ways in which Indigenous peoples and communities are capable of healing in small and big ways -- and they challenge readers to consider what the dominant society must do to create systemic change. Full of bold graphics and illustration, Killing the Wittigo is a much-needed resource for Indigenous kids and the people who love them and work with them."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z Canada $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Health and hygiene $z Canada. 650 0 $a Colonization $x Social aspects $z Canada. 650 0 $a Colonization $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma $z Canada. 650 7 $a Colonization $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352475 650 7 $a Colonization $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352477 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Health and hygiene. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970237 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970256 650 7 $a Psychic trauma. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081217 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 700 12 $i Adaptation of (work): $a Methot, Suzanne, $d 1968- $t Legacy. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Methot, Suzanne, 1968- $t Killing the Wittigo. $d Toronto : ECW Press, 2023 $z 9781778521539 $z 9781778521539 $w (OCoLC)1369066930 941 $a 4 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230804010222.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230706010732.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012321.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230606011409.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F0FA4AE042F11EE896B6DEA35ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
