Green Grass Running Water is a beautiful, lyrical tale that incorporates Native Canadian mythology into a modern story. I read it in a Canadian literature class during my undergraduate degree and it was by far my favourite book. It is engaging, funny, and easy to read. It also, importantly, provides insight into the past and present culture of a marginalised people who have been systemically pushed out of society since Canada was first "discovered." We owe it to the First Peoples of Canada to learn some of their histories, and this is a fantastic way of doing so. Please, purchase; you won't be disappointed.
