Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox book
Five Little Indians is the debut novel by Cree Canadian writer Michelle Good, published in 2020 by Harper Perennial.[1] The novel focuses on five survivors of the Canadian Indian residential school system, struggling with varying degrees of success to rebuild their lives in Vancouver, British Columbia after the end of their time in the residential schools.[2] It also explores the love and strength that can emerge after trauma.[3]
Five Little Indians was CBC's number one best selling book in 2021.[4] It was selected for the 2022 edition of Canada Reads, nominated by Christian Allaire, Ojibway author and Vogue Fashion Editor.[5]
Background
Although the novel itself is fiction, some of the stories were based on real experiences of Good's mother and grandmother, who were survivors of the residential school system.[1] Growing up, her mother talked about the traumatic histories and experiences of attending St. Barnabas Residential School in Onion Lake, Saskatchewan[6] and these discussions influenced Good's life work.[7] She worked on the novel for more than a decade, beginning the writing process in 2011 as a fine arts graduate student at the University of British Columbia.[8] As part of the writing process, Good relied on psychological assessments of children who experienced physical and sexual abuse in order to accurately depict the long-term impacts on a person's life.[9]

Five Little Indians was CBC's number one best selling book in 2021.[4]
