Summary: "Stick Houses is the first story collection by Matthew Fletcher, a citizen of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and a professor of law. The stories in Stick Houses run the spectrum from realism to science fiction. They explore the lives of Michigan Anishinaabe people and the modern identities of Native people. There is dispossession and separation, but there is also reunion and restoration. Indigenous people are everywhere, navigating a complicated world in ways that can be unexpected, so this collection disrupts stereotypes and expectations"-- Provided by publisher.
