WHISTLE AT NIGHT AND THEY WILL COME

Whistle at Night and They Will Come is Blackfoot storyteller Alex Soop's second collection, following the triumph of his first blood-curdling volume Midnight Storm Moonless Sky. Prepare to be drawn again into the abyss of his tales of apparitions, curses and hauntings, monstrous entities, survival desperation, and chilling acts of vengeance. It's not just the darkness within that will terrify, it is also the consequences of whistling at night. Teaming up with the enigmatic filmmaker Cary Thomas Cody, these tales weave the threads of indigenous ways of knowledge into the fabric of fear, etching and indelible mark upon the landscape of indigenous horror.

"Indigenous stories and the supernatural go hand in hand. I've heard stories from Elders that are unimaginable."
-Eugene Brave Rock, from the foreword.

The Fort Museum of the NWMP and First Nations Interpretive Centre is grateful to have the opportunity to meet and work on Treaty 7 territory. As settlers on these lands, it is important to acknowledge that we are located on the unceded territory of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Nation), including Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, as well as the Metis Nation Region 3. We want to express our respect for the territory we reside in and honour the diverse Indigenous People who have lived and worked on this land historically and presently. We, the staff, and leadership at The Fort Museum, are committed to being active participants in reconciliation. We are committed to actively working through programs and displays to decolonize the Blackfoot voice in our spaces.
