Character Study: This House Is Not a Home

A clarion call for land back, Dene author Katłįà’s unapologetic novel This House Is Not a Home (Roseway Publishing) follows a Dene family who’ve returned home only to find that their home is no longer there. Katłįà has likewise created an unapologetically awesome dream cast list for the novel’s movie adaptation – read on to see who she picked to play the protagonist, residential school survivor KÇ«Ì€, and other characters in the novel.
