To solve the global energy crisis, a technique is developed to induce deep hibernation in humans, with small teams rotating to ensure critical infrastructure continues running. A group of Indigenous youth who have volunteered to work one such shift ponder the implications of having the opportunity to rid Turtle Island of settler colonizers. Will settler anxiety be validated? Will the oppressed do unto the colonizer as has been done to them?

The chapter includes an “exploration” section at the end providing further context and insight into the Métis culture and history which it is inspired by.
