Bawaajigan - an Anishinaabemowin word for dream or vision - is a collection of short fiction by Indigenous writers from across Turtle Island. Ranging from gritty to gothic, hallucinatory to prophetic, the reader encounters ghosts haunting residential school hallways and ghosts looking on from the afterlife, bead-dreamers, talking eagles, Haudenosaunee wizards, giant snakes, sacred white buffalo calves, spider's silk, a burnt and blood-stained diary, wormholes, poppy-induced deliriums, Ouija boards, and imaginary friends among the many exhilarating forces that drive the Indigenous dream-worlds of today.
This is, overall, a stunning collection of writing from Indigenous sources, stories with the power to transform character and reader alike...the high points are numerous and often dizzying in their force... This is an inspiring and demanding collection, and that is by design. The stories challenge readers on numerous levels: thematically, narratively, and linguistically... --Quill & Quire
The range of stories in this anthology is remarkable, and so are the many themes explored: discovery and recovery, whether of oneself or of ancestral knowing and ways of being; journeying to other worlds; experiences of residential school; the fates of murdered and missing Indigenous women; and gifts that were once commonplace and are now misunderstood or misused. --Malahat Review
