Maggiori informazioni sul libro
An electrifying memoir intertwines Indigenous rights and environmental policy from a recognized activist and survivor. The author reflects on his journey through childhood, marked by domestic and sexual abuse, and the intergenerational trauma of Canada’s residential school system. He recounts his experiences as a young boy in Winnipeg and British Columbia, where he faced racism and violence, and as a teenager managing a drug house, navigating a world filled with pain and violence. Yet, amidst these struggles, he remained connected to his Cree spirituality and heritage, finding solace in the rituals and land of his great-grandparents' trapline in Pukatawagan, Manitoba. This connection ultimately led him to healing, as he confronted the shared trauma of Indigenous peoples globally. Now a leading organizer and activist, he channels his warrior spirit into the fight against the exploitation of Indigenous lands by Big Oil. Through personal survival stories, he highlights the realities of Canada’s First Nations and shares insights from his career addressing environmental injustice on a global scale, offering a narrative of healing and responsibility.
