Anton Treuer on CBC’s Next Chapter:
Christa Couture talks to the author about reimagining masculinity and Indigenous identity through the eyes of an Ojibway boy who’s sent to live in the Canadian wilderness after being wrongfully accused of a crime.
In Where Wolves Don't Die, we're introduced to a 15-year-old Ojibwe boy named Ezra who is trying to figure out his place in the world.
When Ezra finally decides to fight back against the local bully who's been harassing him, the bully's house burns to the ground that same night. Worried that Ezra might be falsely accused of being involved, his father whisks him back to their family reservation across the border in Canada.
