About this Book
Killing the Wittigo by Suzanne Methot is a powerful and haunting exploration of the intergenerational trauma and violence experienced by Indigenous peoples in Canada. Drawing on her own personal experiences and extensive research, Methot delves into the impact of colonization, residential schools, and systemic racism on Indigenous communities. Focusing on the concept of the wittigo, a mythical creature representing greed, destruction, and exploitation, Methot examines how these forces have shaped Indigenous identities and relationships. Through a combination of memoir, history, and cultural analysis, Killing the Wittigo offers a thought-provoking and ultimately hopeful look at the resilience and strength of Indigenous peoples in the face of centuries of trauma.
