![]() What I’ve perused so far is sparsely beautiful in its careful prose. 221 pp 21.95 Reviewed by Donna Bailey Nurse Indian Horse, a severe yet beautiful novel by Ojibway writer Richard Wagamese, concerns Saul Indian Horse, a former hockey star undergoing. So it looks like it’s going to be savvy and thoughtful, timely and clever, moving and tragic. I hope the mainstream popularity of INDIAN HORSE thanks to Canada Reads has a powerful impact on the level of discourse among Idle No More observers. INDIAN HORSE is, to me, the kind of book that helps us all understand one another better, and understanding is in short supply judging by the vitriol (and racism) in the comment threads relating to stories about Idle No More. Idle No More is a rapidly unfolding Aboriginal (and Aboriginal ally) protest movement here that involves the hunger strike of Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence and anger towards abuses of treaty rights and about the recent Bill C-45. It’s so interesting to me that we’re going to be reading INDIAN HORSE as the story of Idle No More continues to develop from coast-to-coast in Canada.
