Finding Izzy

Beschreibung

A teen wakes up in a hospital with no memory. Her skin colour and features indicate she is Indigenous, possibly Cree. She soon discovers she is no ordinary girl - and her life has no ordinary purpose.

Autor

Sheryl Doherty was born in Saskatoon in the '70s and adopted at 10 months. She is Cree and Irish and is part of the Sixties Scoop, a generation of Indigenous children who were adopted out to non-Indigenous people for the purpose of assimilation. While growing up, she was denied her Cree heritage. However, when she started university, she began learning about Indigenous people's histories across Canada, cultural and intergenerational trauma, and about the alarming numbers of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in North America. Sheryl finished her Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Education, and Master of Arts, then began her lifelong passion of teaching about Indigenous literature.
