Even though it made my stomach tighten when I looked at her and thought of Father, I couldn’t help but think, in spite of it all, we were here.”įive Little Indians is the debut novel by poet, lawyer and political activist Michelle Good, and a member of Saskatchewan’s Red Pheasant Cree Nation. “Indian School seemed like a hundred years ago, but with Lucy in my living room, it seemed like yesterday. We join them as they try to deal with years of neglect and trauma in a world that has no place for them, never mind any understanding. From their prison-like residential school on Vancouver Island, they are turfed onto the streets of Vancouver with no support, money, family connections or life skills. Five Little Indians follows the lives of five young adults as they grapple with life after ‘Indian School’ in the 1960s.
