This is a collection of educational tiktoks, books, and videos featuring Indigenous creators and (possibly) my reflection of them as a Canadian ally. As I write in the introduction, "this book is not me relaying what I have learned (though I may reflect on that as well), but pointing you to where I have learned it. The reason for it is that I believe it is important to hear things from the source and want to bring attention to the voices of individuals who know the subjects best."
Please remember that the content is about real people. Be mindful of your comments and questions. I want this to be a safe space for teachers and learners. Hate comments directed towards anyone for any reason will not be tolerated.
!! Sensitive/triggering topics MAY include:
- genocide
- racism
- mental health
- violence
- swearing
- assault
^ This is a list of what some content creators included in this book will talk about. Please remember to check each individual content/creator for their specific trigger warnings if you need to.

I am republishing this for a friend who wanted to read a sample of my work. The plot is all over the place, but I know I'll revisit it in future.
I initially wrote this in 2017 before I knew a lot of things I know now. There's a lot in here that is culturally insensitive. I have done my best to edit out what I could find at first glance, but if you see something glaringly offensive please make a comment about it so that I can correct my errors. The most egregious example that comes to mind is using the G-word for the Romani and relying on unflattering stereotypes. I plan to correct a lot of this in proceeding drafts. Other than that, enjoy my emotional, nonsensical ride!
