Hi – I'm reading "Windigo Island: A Novel (Cork O'Connor Mystery Series Book 14)" by William Kent Krueger and wanted to share this quote with you.
"When people of European descent"—here she glanced at Cork and Jenny, the only ones among those present who didn't look Ojibwe—"came to this area, they shattered our culture. Sometimes it was because of ignorance, but more often it was because of greed. And this brokenness, this wounding of our spirit as a people, has never been completely healed. We continue to struggle with it today. One of the terrible, terrible effects of that brokenness is violence, particularly against our women. Our men are sometimes a part of that violence, and white men are certainly a part of that violence. Our women have been sold from the beginning, traded as a commodity. We're dealing with decades of trauma forced on our people."
