Finding themselves suddenly homeless, they have no choice but to assimilate into settler-colonial society in a mining town that has encroached on their freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eAn intergenerational coming-of-age novel, \u003cem\u003eThis House Is Not a Home\u003c\/em\u003e follows Kǫ̀, a Dene man who grew up entirely on the land before being taken to residential school.
