Moon of the Crusted Snow - Waubgeshig Rice

Canadian First Nations writer from northern Ontario.
Interesting story premise:  in a remote northern reserve power, supplies, media, phone, basically everything is cut off as the larger world outside falls into chaos.  What happens next?  How do they survive?  Who survives?
There is even a Wendigo figure.
Fairly well-written.  Some good lines on Native history and experience.
It also does not paint a particularly rosy picture of the inhabitants of the reserve on the whole.
