Take Us to Your Chief by Drew Hayden Taylor

A forgotten Haudenosaunee social song beams into the cosmos like a homing beacon for interstellar visitors. A computer learns to feel sadness and grief from the history of atrocities committed against First Nations. A young Indigenous man discovers the secret to time travel in ancient petroglyphs.

The nine stories in this collection span all traditional topics of science fiction from peaceful aliens to hostile invaders; from space travel to time travel; from government conspiracies to connections across generations. (From Douglas & McIntyre)
