Finding themselves suddenly homeless, they have no choice but to assimilate into settler-colonial society in a mining town that has encroached on their freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn intergenerational coming-of-age novel, \u003cem\u003eThis House Is Not a Home\u003c\/em\u003e follows Kǫ̀, a Dene man who grew up entirely on the land before being taken to residential school. When he finally returns home, he struggles to connect with his family: his younger brother whom he has never met, his mother because he has lost his language, and an absent father whose disappearance he is too afraid to question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third book from acclaimed Dene, Cree, and Métis writer Katłįà, \u003cem\u003eThis House Is Not a Home\u003c\/em\u003e is a fictional story based on true events. Visceral and embodied, heartbreaking and spirited, this book presents a clear trajectory of how settlers dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of their land—and how Indigenous communities, with dignity and resilience, continue to live and honour their culture, values, inherent knowledge systems, and Indigenous rights towards re-establishing sovereignty.
