It explores how learned patterns of behavior — the ways people adapt to trauma to survive — are passed down within family systems, thereby affecting the functioning of entire communities. The book foregrounds Indigenous resilience through song lyrics and as-told-to stories by young people who have started their own journeys of decolonization, healing, and change. It also details the transformative work being done in urban and on-reserve communities through community-led projects and Indigenous-run institutions and community agencies. These stories offer concrete examples of the ways in which Indigenous peoples and communities are capable of healing in small and big ways — and they challenge readers to consider what the dominant society must do to create systemic change. Full of bold graphics and illustration, \u003ci\u003eKilling the Wittigo \u003c\/i\u003eis a much-needed resource for Indigenous kids and the people who love them and work with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t","brand":"Entershine Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":49625412829423,"sku":"9781770417243","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/3877\/7237\/files\/BNCImageAPI_41095527-2775-4949-98d8-828ea2b9e53d.jpg?v=1780328902","url":"https:\/\/www.entershinebookshop.ca\/products\/9781770417243","provider":"Entershine Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
