Blood Quantum (2019)
I recently watched Blood Quantum (2019) and… wow. I’m blown away. Like after reading Becoming Kin by Patty Krawec.
Alan/”Lysol” is son to an absentee father (probably a survivor of the reeducation camps, not sure if it was explicit), a MMIW, and Canada’s child theft system – “foster care.”
Tumblr media
His younger brother is an antithetical “Cain” archetype, and the father and grandfather characters serve as symbols of the patriarchal systems that infect Indigenous peoples, just as the ZED (zombie disease). The horror, cinematography, and storytelling make it well-worth a watch, if you can handle a deeply gory (the actors are having fun) movie.
When things go tits up, Canada is reeling. Suddenly, the settler colonial state is at the mercy of the people it has legally discriminated against, has murdered, tortured, torn communities, families, everything apart… for conquest… turned ‘round. Lysol (whose brand promises to “wipe out 99.9% of germs”) is Canada’s experiment, its own Indigenous son returned with the same bloodlust and emptiness that the settlers inflicted on us.
He is vicious, sexist, a toxic masculinity with only violence as a tool made of the rot of white society. When he comes for blood, it never mattered who or what; he needed an excuse to weaponize his hatred, and white society handed him the tools… the ones that undid his own humanity. He kills his own people when they attempt to rebuild through peace and diplomacy.
I disagree with him, but who else was this person ever allowed to become?
This movie's patriarch's are in active disagreement, and it is matriarchal and restorative ways that create the way forward. A truly incredible work of art.

This year some of my favourite books I read were written by indigenous American authors and I just wanted to shout out a couple that I fell in love with
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones
Horror being my second most read genre, I did not think books could still get under my skin the way this one did lol. It follows four Blackfoot men who are seemingly being hunted by a vengeful... something... years after a fateful hunting trip that happened just before they went their separate ways. The horror, the dread, the something... pure nightmare fuel 10/10
Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice
An apocalyptic novel following an isolated Anishinaabe community in the far north who lose contact with the outside world. When two of their young men return from their college with dire news, they set about planning on how to survive the winter, but when outsiders follow, lines are drawn in the community that might doom them all. This book is all dread all the time, the use of dreams and the inevitability of conflict weighs heavy til the very end. An excellent apocalypse story if you're into that kind of thing.
My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones
This book follows Jade, a deeply troubled mixed race teenager with a shitty homelife who's *obsessed* with slasher movies. When she finds evidence that there's a killer running about her soon-to-be gentrified small town, she weaponises that knowledge to predict what's going to happen next. I don't think this book will work for most people, it's a little stream of consciousness, Jade's head is frequently a very difficult place to be in, but by the last page I had so much love for her as a character and the emotional rollercoaster she's on that I had to mention it here.
Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger
Taking a bit of a left turn but this charming YA murder mystery really stuck with me this year. Elatsoe is a teenage girl living in an America where myths, monsters, and magic are all real every day occurrences. When her cousin dies mysteriously with no witnesses, she decides to do whatever she can, including using her ability to raise the spirits of dead animals, to solve the case. The worldbuilding was just really fun in this one, but the Native American myths and influence were the shining star for me, and the asexual rep was refreshing to see in a YA book too tbh
Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq
The audiobook, the audiobook, the audiobook!!!! Also the physical book because formatting and illustrations, but the audiobook!!! Tanya Tagaq is an Inuit throat singer, and this novel is a genre blending of 20 years worth of the authors journal entries, poetry, and short stories, that culminates in a truly unique story about a young girl surviving her teenage years in a small tundra town in the 70s. It is sad and beautiful and hard but an experience like nothing else I read this year.
