“With Legacy, Waubgeshig Rice places himself squarely at the front of the next wave of Native authors. Bold, envisioned storytelling. A hands down pleasure to read. “
– Richard Wagamese
In the winter of 1989, Eva Gibson is a university student living in downtown Toronto.
She’s homesick and anxious to finish her education and return home to serve her Anishinaabe community.
Then tragedy strikes and it becomes the Gibson family’s legacy.
Back on the rez, Eva’s brothers and sister struggle to cope with their losses and redefine “their legacy. ”
Some turn to ceremony; some turn to vice. All the while, they contend with a creeping sentiment of revenge.

“No matter what happens in your pursuit of a career in journalism, you’ll always have your community. That includes your home people and your circle of fellow Indigenous journalists. We’ll have your back, as those who came before us had ours. We may all come from different Indigenous nations and cultures on this land, but many of us share the essential responsibility of maintaining good relationships with one another and telling Indigenous stories properly and responsibly. That’s what kept me going for eighteen years.”
