June is here, and that means it’s time for a new Book of the Month—and another chance to read and connect together.
This month, we’re diving into Bad Cree by Jessica Johns. It’s a gripping and eerie novel that blends dreams, memory, and Cree tradition into a haunting story of grief and survival. If you love stories that keep you thinking long after you’ve turned the last page, this one’s for you.
Grab your copy below and let’s read! I can’t wait to hear what you think.
Thanks,

"In this gripping, horror-laced debut, a young Cree woman’s dreams lead her on a perilous journey of self-discovery that ultimately forces her to confront the toll of a legacy of violence on her family, her community, and the land they call home."This isn’t just a horror story—it’s a powerful blend of Indigenous storytelling, grief, memory, and mystery. As the lines between dreams and reality blur, so does the boundary between past and present. It's eerie, emotional, and deeply rooted in Cree culture.

This week’s pick is one you’ll want to grab now while it’s on sale. Bill Yenne’s Sitting Bull: Lakota Warrior and Defender of His People is a powerful read that paints a full and respectful portrait of one of the most iconic figures in Native American history.
With the History Channel rolling out a new documentary on Sitting Bull, this is the perfect time to dive into the book and follow it up with the documentary. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the man behind the legend — his leadership, his resistance, and his enduring legacy.
Let me know if you decide to read it or watch the doc! Would love to hear your thoughts.
