Intense, true-to-life Canadiana drama in alcohol-fueled Northern Alberta. Can't believe I missed this one all these years, but it was worth the wait. Fascinating insight into First Nations family life, its mingling with European culture, and how people get along or don't get along ultimately depends on individual personalities, and not as much social grouping and ancestral ties. Extremely well-written, and Tantoo Cardinal is amazing as usual. Easy to follow despite the twists and turns, down-to-earth and no-nonsense throughout despite its intricasies and its unravelling of the tapestry of human psychology.
