Abstract
Abstract:Cherie Dimaline’s Empire of Wild critiques colonialism and celebrates Georgian Bay, Ontario, Métis identity through a narrative that uses the figure of the Rogarou as the Métis trickster and template for addressing these realities. Subtexts alluding to related stories in prairie sources edited by Maria Campbell; allusions to a French-Catholic local legend referred to as “the wolf of Lafontaine”; and the relevance of Anishinaabe cosmologies, traditional teachings, and other-than-human beings also dramatize, deepen, and support the reader’s understanding of Métis resistance and resurgence. Dimaline’s poetic narrative reflects Leanne Simpson’s approach to decolonial love and connects the novel’s themes and subtexts.
