Moon of the Crusted Snow

<p class="Bodydin79"><span lang="EN-US">With winter looming, a small Anishinaabe community suddenly goes dark. Cut off, people become passive and confused. Panic builds as food dwindles. While the band council and a pocket of community members struggle to maintain order, an unexpected visitor arrives and then escapes the crumbling society for the south. Soon after, others follow. Frustrated by the building chaos, a group of young friends and their families turn to the land and Anishinaabe tradition in hopes of helping their community thrive again. Blending action and allegory, <i>Moon of the Crusted Snow</i> upends our expectations. Out of catastrophe comes resilience. And as one society collapses, another is reborn.</span></p>
