Waubgeshig Rice writes Indigenous post-apocalyptic fiction in which community survival depends as much on language, memory and collective decision-making as on supplies. Moon of the Crusted Snow follows a remote Anishinaabe community after power and communications fail, leaving residents to face a hard winter, dwindling resources and the arrival of outsiders while the wider disaster remains largely unseen. Moon of the Turning Leaves continues the story years later as a group travels south from the community's new settlement in search of their ancestral homeland. Rice keeps the collapse offstage enough to focus on how people organise, argue, hunt and restore cultural practices under pressure. His work is tense but measured, fitting Indigenous science fiction, post-apocalyptic fiction and survival stories, with a quieter, community-centred approach than many disaster thrillers.
