Canadian Quotes: Cherie Dimaline

 On July 16th, we celebrate Cherie Dimaline!




When the people forgot what they had asked for in the beginning—a place to live, and for the community to grow in a good way—he remembered, and he returned on padded feet, light as stardust on the newly paved road. And that rogarou, heart full of his own stories but his belly empty, he came home not just to haunt. He also came to hunt. 

- from Empire of Wild by Cherie Dimaline



About this series

Every day this July, the yak occidental is posting a quote from a book by a Canadian writer to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. Celebrating Canada is complex, and we must remember the violent and genocidal history our country is founded upon.
