<b>WINNER OF THE TADEUSZ BRADECKI PRIZE • WINNER OF THE BC AND YUKON HUBERT EVANS NON-FICTION PRIZE • A stunning narrative from one of the most powerful young writers at work today, and the director of the Oscar®-nominated documentary, <i>Sugarcane</i>, <i>We Survived the Night</i> interweaves oral history with hard-hitting journalism and a deeply personal father-son journey into a searing portrait of Indigenous survival, love, and resurgence.<br><br>“Julian Brave NoiseCat seamlessly connects true tales of identity and betrayal, love and abandonment, clarity and confusion. <i>We Survived the Night</i> is a whirling, radiant gift to the reader.” —Louise Erdrich, author of <i>The Night Watchman</i></b><br><br>Julian Brave NoiseCat’s childhood was rich with culture and contradictions. When his Secwépemc and St’at’imc father, an artist haunted by a turbulent past, abandoned the family, NoiseCat and his non-Native mother were embraced by the urban Native community in Oakland, California, as well as by family on the Canim Lake Indian Reserve in British Columbia. In his father’s absence, NoiseCat immersed himself in Native history and culture to understand the man he seldom saw—his past, his story, where he came from—and, by extension, himself.<br><br>Years later, NoiseCat sets out across the continent to correct the erasure, invisibility, and misconceptions surrounding the First Peoples of this land as he develops his voice as a storyteller and artist. Told in the style of a "Coyote Story," a legend about the trickster forefather of NoiseCat’s people who was revered for his wit and mocked for his tendency to self-destruct, <i>We Survived the Night</i> brings a traditional art form nearly annihilated by colonization back to life on the page. Through a dazzling blend of history and mythology, memoir and reportage, NoiseCat unravels old stories and braids together new ones. He grapples with the erasure of North America's First Peoples and the trauma that cascades across gene
