#IdiomInsight Day 25: A lot of #BuryTheHatchet moments in this tome of a novel (idiomatically and literally), our #EmiratesLitFoundation book club pick for October, and it is a chunkster.

I gained insight on #BuryTheHatchet today. An American English idiomatic expression that means to make peace, it‘s considered an idiom because we use its figurative definition over its literal meaning. It‘s an allusion to the practice of throwing weapons after hostility among Native Americans. After the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, it was customary to bury weapons once peace was reached.

Loved the enemies to friends troupe in this series.

I wasn‘t aware until I looked up #BuryTheHatchet that this expression frequently tops lists of colloquialisms that the Native community have described as offensive and asked people to stop using. #IdiomInsight @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

While 13 yo Brian Robeson is traveling by single-engine plane to visit his father, the plane crashes, killing the pilot. He is alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present. He will not #BuryTheHatchet - it will save his life.
