“What a magnificent book Sang-Mêlé is, written by Réjean OBomsawin with Jacinthe Laliberté and Maureen Martineau. To better understand the past and present realities of the Abenaki people of Odanak, as well as the crucial role they have played in history, the authors chose a hybrid narrative form where fiction and documentary coexist. An absolute must-read!”— Louis Plamondon, Bloc Québécois MP, Sorel (Québec)
