Julian Brave NoiseCat’s childhood was rich with culture and contradictions. When his Secwépemc and St’at’imc father, an artist haunted by a turbulent past, abandoned the family, NoiseCat and his non-Native mother were embraced by the urban Native community in Oakland, California, as well as by family on the Canim Lake Indian Reserve in British Columbia. In his father’s absence, NoiseCat immersed himself in Native history and culture to understand the man he seldom saw—his past, his story, where he came from—and, by extension, himself.

Years later, NoiseCat sets out across the continent to correct the erasure, invisibility, and misconceptions surrounding the First Peoples of this land as he develops his voice as a storyteller and artist. Told in the style of a "Coyote Story," a legend about the trickster forefather of NoiseCat’s people who was revered for his wit and mocked for his tendency to self-destruct, We Survived the Night brings a traditional art form nearly annihilated by colonization back to life on the page. Through a dazzling blend of history and mythology, memoir and reportage, NoiseCat unravels old stories and braids together new ones. He grapples with the erasure of North America's First Peoples and the trauma that cascades across generations, while illuminating the vital Indigenous cultural, environmental, and political movements reshaping the future. He chronicles the historic ascent of the first Native American cabinet secretary in the United States and the first Indigenous sovereign of Canada; probes the colonial origins and limits of racial ideology and Indian identity through the story of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina; and hauls the golden eggs of an imperiled fish out of the sea alongside the Tlingit of Sitka, Alaska. This is a rewriting and a restoration—of Native history and, more intimately, of family and self, as NoiseCat seeks to reclaim a culture effaced by colonization and reconcile with a father who left. Virtuosic, compelling, and deeply moving, this is at once an intensely personal journey and a searing portrait of Indigenous survival, love, and resurgence.

Drawing from five years of on-the-ground reporting, We Survived the Night paints a profound and unforgettable portrait of contemporary Indigenous life, alongside an intimate and deeply powerful reckoning between a father and a son. A soulful, formally daring, and indelible work from an important new voice.

Great quality and perfect fit
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Medium, Color: Dark Gray
Perfect prom suit! My son wore this to his senior prom and it fit him perfectly right out of the package. True to size, great quality, and looked very expensive for such a reasonable price. We were extremely happy with this purchase and would definitely buy again.

Impressive Quality for the Price
Size: Medium, Color: Navy Blue
Wow this suit exceeded my expectations! The sizing chart was accurate and the fit was great. The material felt soft, smooth, and surprisingly high quality it honestly felt much more expensive than the price we paid. I also liked the ample amount of pockets inside the blazer. Overall, a great value and perfect for a polished look without spending a lot. Highly recommend!

Very nice well made suit
Size: X-Small, Color: Black
This is a very nice suit. Well made, from good material. I was so surprised based on the price I didn't expect such a great quality. It fits my son very well, he is very slim. Real value for money as it looks much more expensive that the price I paid for it.

Good quality
Size: Medium, Color: Champagne
I am shocked how nice the suit is for the price. I was expecting the pants to be slimmer, but they still fit my husband great. The only discrepancy is the suit is a darker tan than pictured.

We love the Lorenzo bruno brand!
Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black
Fit perfect!!! He looked so handsome! The material is great, durable ans will last awhile. It hung in the closet for a couple weeks before he wore it. The pockets on the jacket are fake. But the ones on the pants are real.
