Antoine Mountain follows up his previous memoir From Bear Rock Mountain: the Life and Times of a Dene Residential School Survivor with the book Child of Morning Star: Embers of an Ancient Dawn, a poetic collection of stories that draws on his travels and knowledge as a Dene artist and his experience being forcibly taken from his home and placed in a residential school. As a lifelong student of history, Mountain weaves stories about people and art and the moments when our world manages to pause just briefly enough that we can see the roots of our communal humanity. Each part of this book corresponds to the four directions of the Medicine Wheel and offers insight into history, social conditions, community, and the spiritual. Child of Morning Star looks towards the future and the promise of tomorrow.
