Drew Hayden Taylor, een geprezen hedendaagse verteller van de Ojibway-natie, duikt in het hart van het leven van de First Nations in Canada. Door zijn diverse literaire vormen, variërend van toneelstukken en scenario's tot korte verhalen en romans, onderzoekt Taylor thema's die de realiteit van inheemse gemeenschappen weerspiegelen, vieren en compliceren met zowel humor als diepgang. Zijn schrijven wordt gewaardeerd om zijn vermogen om een wereldwijd publiek te onderwijzen en te informeren over onderwerpen van de inheemse cultuur, terwijl het een unieke stem behoudt die vaak wordt gevormd door zijn eigen erfgoed. Taylor streeft ernaar een stem te zijn voor inheemse volkeren, en zijn uitgebreide oeuvre dient als een interculturele brug die begrip en respect bevordert.
