A review by katietotallybooked
Black Water: Family, Legacy and Blood Memory by David A. Robertson

4.0

After meeting David A Robertson in December 2023 at an Author event my library hosted, I was anxious to read his catalogue of works. I started with Black Water because I wanted to knowabout him and his history. 

 

This was an enjoyable and intriguing audiobook to listen to. David A narrates it himself, which is always a bonus when listening to an audiobook. I learned more about indigenous culture and Cree history and how his upbringing without an emphasis on this part of his identity impacted him. 

 

This is an important and valuable book to visit in print or via audiobook for any Canadian reader. You will learn something new about Indigenous culture and history and you will be impacted by David A’s story and the story of his parents and grandparents.
