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.

Ideal for double cleansing
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Removes makeup and sunscreen just fine, although it doesn’t remove my nyx eyeliner. Does not foam, turns into a milky texture. Leaves a slignt oil film over the skin after removing with water, warm water seems to remove it a little better. I don’t mind too much since it’s the first step to my nightly double cleanse, I go over with another cleanser after. I like that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight after.

Amazing product for dry, mature skin.
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used Micellar water for years and this is a nice addition as it is very moisturizing, especially for mature skin (I also live in a very dry climate). Great for removing stubborn mascara and eye makeup.

Fabulous product for makeup removal
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this. I use a good squirt, massage into skin, including onto eyelids and lashes, then wet my hands, and massage into face further, which creates some suds. Then I use a disposable washcloth. I make it wet and wipe it all off. The makeup comes right off my face, including mascara, and my face feels soft and not dry at all afterwards. I’m on my second bottle.

Melts Makeup Off
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this stuff! It melts my makeup away so gently, even mascara, so I don’t have to scrub as hard as I used to with other cleaners. I follow with my face soap, and my face actually feels like everything has been wiped away now. I feel like my blackheads have even improved and my pores are less clogged.
