Tanya Talaga's Seven Fallen Feathers investigates the deaths of seven Indigenous high school students in Thunder Bay, Ontario, exposing systemic racism and the failures that led to their deaths. Through meticulous journalism and compassionate storytelling, Talaga reveals how a city and country failed these young people. The book becomes both true crime investigation and indictment of systemic racism, proving that these deaths were preventable and that Indigenous lives matter despite institutions suggesting otherwise.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Talaga demands accountability for deaths that authorities dismissed, showing that systemic racism kills. This essential book reminds us that Thunder Bay's failures are Canada's failures, that Indigenous students deserve safety, and that journalism can force truth into light.
