Our Rez Anomaly

When a glowing purple hole appears on a reservation and dead raccoons start pouring out, a legal battle with the Crown over the “anomaly” brings in scientists, the military, and the National Assembly of Chiefs. Through a seemingly outrageous concept, “Our Rez Anomaly” explores the decades-long and very common reality that settler governments want control over anything and everything Indigenous communities have, “whether it’s land or water or even infinite dead raccoons.” With a sharp voice and propulsive narrative, Henry Heavyshield gifts us a story that is both playful and contemplative.
