Julian Brave Noisecat: We Survived the Night
Advertisement
Julian Brave NoiseCat’s debut book We Survived the Night was an instant National Bestseller, named one of The New Yorker’s Best Books of 2025, NPR’s Books We Love, Elle’s 29 Best Nonfiction Books of 2025, CBC’s Best Canadian Nonfiction of 2025, The Globe and Mail’s Globe 100, and Audible’s 15 best nonfiction listens of 2025.
Through a dazzling blend of history and mythology, memoir and reportage, NoiseCat grapples with the erasure of North America’s First Peoples and the trauma that cascades across generations while illuminating the vital Indigenous cultural, environmental, and political movements shaping the future.
Drawing from five years of on-the-ground reporting, We Survived the Night paints a profound and unforgettable portrait of contemporary Indigenous life alongside an intimate, deeply powerful reckoning between a father and a son. A soulful, formally daring and indelible work from a virtuosic new voice.
Julian will be joined in conversation with Indian Summer Festival Executive Artistic Director Am Johal, with a book signing to follow, with books to purchase on site from our official book seller, Iron Dog Books.
Supported by Granville Island, Iron Dog Books, SFU's David Lam Centre and Vancouver Writers Festival.
