Summary
:
A contemporary narrator, a Cree woman, draws into her own story the poignant history of her ancestors and the Europeans they tragically welcomed into their lives. Blue Marrow is a book of vivid characters. Grandmothers both actual and spiritual are prominent in this moving tribute to Native female strength, but many other people, past and present, also appear: Native men and women, fur traders, Jesuits, MÔetis, all of whose stories interact in the drama of contact Halfe brilliantly renders.
