"This book is like a visit home, to talk with the wisest people you know on your reserve or in your neighbourhood. There is an intimacy in how each author shares their own stories of hope, insight and resilience. You will be nourished, strengthened, and inspired.

If you enjoy such visits you will treasure this book." — John Borrows, PhD, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Law, University of Victoria
