A Geography of Blood: Unearthing Memory from a Prairie Landscape

The narrative intertwines personal exploration with the haunting history of the Native peoples displaced from their lands. As Candace Savage immerses herself in the natural beauty of the Saskatchewan-Montana border, she encounters both its wild inhabitants and the stark realities of colonial history. Her journey compels her to reflect on her family's past as prairie settlers, revealing a complex and often painful legacy. "A Geography of Blood" is a beautifully crafted work that challenges perceptions of Western history while celebrating the sacred landscapes of Cypress Hills.
