real ones
a novel
Katherena Vermette
June, an academic, and her sister, Lyn, a pottery artist, are real NDNs – Michif on their father’s side – but their mother, the very white Renee, has been establishing her art career under the name Raven Bearclaw, and is called out as a “pretendian,” pulling June and Lyn into a messy online backlash and unresolved childhood trauma, in this probing and ultimately hopeful novel.
