But he's never met the once-legendary hockey player. Even after Gerry, as an adult, reconnects with his Anishinaabe relatives on his dad's side of the family, Dale remains a mystery -- a missing puzzle piece and a mythic villain. It's not until his late twenties, juggling a commercial pilot career, a troubled marriage, and a young son of his own, that Gerry gets a call from Dale. Meeting for the first time in a dodgy sports bar in Toronto, Dale pitches Gerry on a dangerous but lucrative business venture, setting in motion an unlikely partnership that will test how far both father and son will go in the name of family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on both Anishinaabe storytelling and film noir influences, \u003ci\u003eThe Return of the Nish \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the tragedy of lost opportunities, the cyclical nature of time, and how people and places return to us in new lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cormorant Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770868380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240","brand":"Tyson Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435609059509,"sku":"9781770868380","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f086aad2-3d2b-4d6c-a184-3141d8af374d.jpg?v=1776227446","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-return-of-the-nish-9781770868380","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
