AMUN: Indigenous Storytelling Powerful with Emotion and Sensitivity

In the Innu language, amun means ‘gathering’. Under the direction of Michel Jean, the Innu writer and journalist, this collection brings together Indigenous authors from different backgrounds, First Nations, and generations. Their works of fiction sometimes reflect history and traditions, other times the reality of First Nations in Quebec and Canada. Offering the various perspectives of well-known creators, this book presents the theater of a gathering and the speaking out of people that are too rarely heard. Included are original texts by Josephine Bacon, Natasha Kanape Fontaine, Naomi Fontaine, Virginia Pesemapeo Bordeleau, Melissa Mollen Dupuis, Jean Sioui, Alyssa Jerome, Maya Cousineau-Mollen, Louis-Karl Picard-Sioui, and Michel Jean.
