On fait s'asseoir en cercle une poignée de personnes -- toutes celles qui ont infligé des blessures, toutes celles qui ont été blessées -- , et on les laisse échanger. Pour certaines personnes, c'est un pas vers la guérison, c'est sûr. D'autres arrivent en colère et repartent avec une autre sorte de colère. Elles apprennent en quoi la faute revient au système, à l'histoire, au colonisateur, à ces grandes choses qui sont plus difficiles à changer qu'une seule mauvaise personne." Le jour que Cedar redoutait et attendait à la fois est enfin arrivé : sa sœur Phoenix sort de prison. Tandis que les effets de cette libération se répercutent dans toute la communauté métisse, une nouvelle onde de choc secoue le quartier : Phoenix est portée disparue. Racontée par une constellation de voix réunies comme dans un Cercle de justice réparatrice, l'histoire se déplie d'un personnage à l'autre afin de révéler différentes perspectives sur les événements, nous offrant ainsi un portrait nuancé, un roman d'ombre et de lumière."-- Quatrième de couverture.]]></description><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C647060</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C647060</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[fre]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vermette, Katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/647060141</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>fre</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9782764454596/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ligne brisée]]></title><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C587512</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C587512</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[fre]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vermette, Katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/587512141</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>roman</subtitle><language>fre</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9782764434161/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Girl Called Echo]]></title><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C577760</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C577760</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vermette, Katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/577760141</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>4, Road Allowance Era</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781553799306/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Girl Called Echo]]></title><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C575964</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C575964</guid><category><![CDATA[GRAPHIC_NOVEL]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vermette, Katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/575964141</comments><format>GRAPHIC_NOVEL</format><subtitle>3, Northwest Resistance</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781553798316/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real Ones]]></title><description><![CDATA["From the nationally bestselling author of the Strangers saga comes a heartrending story of two Métis sisters who must face their past trauma when their mother is called out as a pretendian. Lyn and her sister, June, are NDNs -- real ones. Lyn is still suffering after a break-up, but has her pottery artwork and her bubbly kid, Willow, to keep her mind, heart, and hands busy. Happily married June, a Métis Studies professor, yearns to uproot from Vancouver and move. With her husband, Sigh, and their faithful pup, June decides to buy a house in the last place on earth she'd imagine she'd end up: back home in Winnipeg. Close to Lyn, her dad, little sister Yoyo, Grandma Genie -- close to family. But then into Lyn and June's busy lives a bomb drops: their estranged and very white mother, Renee, is called out as a "pretendian." Under the name (get this) Raven Bearclaw, Renee had recently begun to top the charts in the Canadian painting scene for having a wholly new take on the Woodlands tradition, winning awards and recognition for her fraudulent work. The news is quickly picked up by the media and sparks an enraged online backlash. As the sisters are pulled into the painful tangle of lies their mother has told and the hurt she has caused, searing memories from their unresolved childhood trauma, which still manages to spill into their well curated adult worlds, come rippling to the surface. With the same signature wit and heart on display in The Break, The Strangers, and The Circle, and in prose so powerful it could strike a match, real ones offers us a heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful story that runs parallel with the long-fought, hard-won battles of Métis people to regain ownership of their identity and the right to say who is and isn't Métis."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C629338</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C629338</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vermette, Katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/629338141</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735247505/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Circle]]></title><description><![CDATA["From the award-winning and #1 bestselling author of The Strangers comes a poignant and unflinching epic told from a constellation of Métis voices that explores the fallout when one person who connects them all goes missing in Winnipeg. The day that Cedar Sage Stranger has been both dreading and longing for has finally come: her sister Phoenix is getting out of prison. Phoenix's release causes a ripple effect through the community. M, the young girl whom she sexually assaulted, is triggered by the news. M's friends and family have her back no matter what--and all feel the threat of Phoenix's release. When Phoenix is seen lingering outside the school to catch a glimpse of her son, Sparrow, the police get a call to file a report--but the next thing they know, she has disappeared. M's cousin Jake is believed to have hurt or killed Phoenix and is arrested while they search for her. Meanwhile, Phoenix's uncle, Ship, makes violent plans to exact his revenge and law enforcement fails the community at every turn. Cedar and Phoenix's mother, Elsie, continue down different paths of healing, while everyone in their lives form a kind of circle of power amidst the chaos, calm within the storm, and beauty in the darkness. Fierce, heartbreaking, and profound, Vermette's The Circle is the third and final companion novel to her bestsellers The Break and The Strangers. Told from various captivating and intimate perspectives, it considers what it means to be abandoned by the very systems that claim to offer support, to gain a sense of belonging, and to protect those you love most--even if that means letting them go."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C610382</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C610382</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vermette, Katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/610382141</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735239654/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Strangers]]></title><description><![CDATA[A breathtaking companion to her bestselling debut 'The Break', Katherena Vermettes 'The Strangers' brings readers into the dynamic world of the Stranger family, the strength of their bond, the shared pain in their past, and the light that beckons from the horizon.

When an ordinary history class turns extraordinary, Echo is pulled into a time-travelling adventure. Follow Echo as she experiences pivotal events from Métis history and imagines what the future might hold. This omnibus edition includes all four volumes in the A Girl Called Echo series: In Pemmican Wars, Echo finds herself transported to the prairies of 1814. She witnesses a bison hunt, visits a Métis camp, and travels the fur-trade routes. Experience the perilous era of the Pemmican Wars and the events that lead to the Battle of Seven Oaks. In Red River Resistance, we join Echo on the banks of the Red River in the summer of 1869. Canadian surveyors have arrived and Métis families, who have lived there for generations, are losing their land. As the Resistance takes hold, Echo fears for the future of her people in Red River. In Northwest Resistance, Echo travels to 1885. The bison are gone and settlers from the East are arriving in droves. The Métis face starvation and uncertainty as both their survival and traditional way of life are threatened. The Canadian government has ignored their petitions, but hope rises with the return of Louis Riel. In Road Allowance Era, Echo returns to 1885. Louis Riel is standing trial, and the government has not fulfilled its promise of land for the Métis. Burnt out of their home in Ste. Madeleine, Echo’ s people make their way to Rooster Town, a shanty community on the southwest edges of Winnipeg. In this final instalment, Echo is reminded of the strength and perseverance of the Métis. This special omnibus edition of Katherena Vermette’ s best-selling series features an all-new foreword by Chantal Fiola (Returning to Ceremony: Spirituality in Manitoba Métis Communities), a historical timeline, and an essay about Métis being and belonging by Brenda Macdougall (Contours of a People: Métis Family, Mobility, and History).]]></description><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C618569</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C618569</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vermette, Katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/618569141</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781774920893/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Circle]]></title><description><![CDATA[NATIONAL BESTSELLER “The Circle is a polyphonic masterpiece.” —Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse From the award-winning and #1 bestselling author of The Break and The Strangers comes a poignant and unwavering epic told from a constellation of Métis voices that consider the fallout when the person who connects them all goes missing   The concept was simple. You sit a bunch of people in a circle—everyone who hurt, everyone who got hurt, all affected—and let them share. Some people, it helped them heal, for sure. Others went in angry and left a different kind of angry. Learned how the blame belonged on the system, the history, the colonizer, the big things that were harder to change than one bad person.   The day that Cedar Sage Stranger has been both dreading and longing for has finally come: her sister Phoenix is getting out of prison.   The effect of Phoenix’s release cascades through the community. M, the young girl whom she assaulted, is triggered by the news. Her mother, Paulina, is worried and her cousin is angry—all feel the threat of Phoenix’s release. When Phoenix is seen lingering outside the school to catch a glimpse of her son, Sparrow, the police get a call to file a report—but the next thing they know, she has disappeared.   Amid accusations and plots for revenge, past grievances become a poor guide in a moment of danger, and the clumsy armature of law enforcement is no match for the community. Cedar and her and Phoenix’s mother, Elsie, continue down different paths of healing, while everyone in their lives form a circle around the chaos, the calm within the storm, and the beauty in the darkness.   Fierce, heartbreaking, and profound, Vermette’s The Circle is the third and final companion novel to her bestsellers The Break and The Strangers. Told from various perspectives, with an unforgettable voice for each chapter, the novel is masterfully structured as a Restorative Justice Circle where all gather—both the victimized and the accused—to take account of a crime that has altered the course of their lives. It considers what it means to be abandoned by the very systems that claim to offer support, how it feels to gain a sense of belonging, and the unanticipated cost of protecting those you love most.]]></description><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C649673</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C649673</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[vermette, katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/649673141</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735248779/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Strangers]]></title><description><![CDATA[#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE ATWOOD GIBSON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR FICTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022/2023 FIRST NATION COMMUNITIES READ AWARD, 2022 MANITOBA BOOK AWARDS’ CAROL SHIELDS WINNIPEG BOOK AWARD, MARGARET LAURENCE AWARD FOR FICTION, AND MCNALLY ROBINSON BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 SCOTIABANK GILLER PRIZE A GLOBE & MAIL BEST BOOK From the bestselling author of The Break comes a staggering intergenerational saga that explores how connected we are, even when we’re no longer together—even when we’re forced apart. Cedar has nearly forgotten what her family looks like. Phoenix has nearly forgotten what freedom feels like. And Elsie has nearly given up hope. Nearly. After time spent in foster homes, Cedar goes to live with her estranged father. Although she grapples with the pain of being separated from her mother, Elsie, and sister, Phoenix, she’s hoping for a new chapter in her life, only to find herself once again in a strange house surrounded by strangers. From a youth detention centre, Phoenix gives birth to a baby she’ll never get to raise and tries to forgive herself for all the harm she’s caused (while wondering if she even should). Elsie, struggling with addiction and determined to turn her life around, is buoyed by the idea of being reunited with her daughters and strives to be someone they can depend on, unlike her own distant mother. These are the Strangers, each haunted in her own way. Between flickering moments of warmth and support, the women diverge and reconnect, fighting to survive in a fractured system that pretends to offer success but expects them to fail. Facing the distinct blade of racism from those they trusted most, they urge one another to move through the darkness, all the while wondering if they’ll ever emerge safely on the other side.  A breathtaking companion to her bestselling debut The Break, vermette’s The Strangers brings readers into the dynamic world of the Stranger family, the strength of their bond, the shared pain in their past, and the light that beckons from the horizon. This is a searing exploration of race, class, inherited trauma, and matrilineal bonds that—despite everything—refuse to be broken.]]></description><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C652900</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C652900</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[vermette, katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/652900141</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735244023/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Break]]></title><description><![CDATA[-- Winner, Amazon.ca First Novel Award -- National Bestseller -- 2016 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize FinalistNational Post 99 Best Books of the YearCBC Best Canadian Debut Novels 2016Globe and Mail Best 100 Books of 2016Quill & Quire Book of the YearKobo Best Books of the YearWalrus Magazine The Best Books of 201649th Shelf Books of the YearThe Break showcases Vermette’s abundant writing talent and positions her as an exciting new voice in Canadian literature.]]></description><link>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C510147</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S141C510147</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vermette, Katherena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://oshlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/510147141</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781487004361/MC.GIF&amp;client=oshawapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Break]]></title><description><![CDATA[-- The BreakWhen Stella, a young Métis mother, looks out her window one evening and spots someone in trouble on the Break — a barren field on an isolated strip of land outside her house — she calls the police to alert them to a possible crime.In a series of shifting narratives, people who are connected, both directly and indirectly, with the victim — police, family, and friends — tell their personal stories leading up to that fateful night.
