Publisher's Summary
A collection of warm, wise, and inspiring stories from the author of the best-selling One Native Life
Since its publication in 2008, readers and reviewers have embraced Richard Wagamese's One Native Life. "In quiet tones and luminous language," wrote the Winnipeg Free Press, "Wagamese shares his hurts and joys, inviting readers to find the ways in which they are joined to him and to consider how they might be joined to others."
In this book, Richard Wagamese again invites listeners to accompany him on his travels. This time his focus is on stories: how they shape us, how they empower us, how they change our lives. Ancient and contemporary, cultural and spiritual, funny and sad, the tales are grouped according to the four essential principles Ojibway traditional teachers sought to impart: humility, trust, introspection, and wisdom.
Whether the topic is learning from his fifth grade teacher about Martin Luther King Jr., gleaning understanding from a wolf track, lighting a fire for the first time without matches, or finding the universe in an eagle feather, these stories exhibit the warmth, wisdom, and generosity that made One Native Life so popular. As always, in this book, the land serves as Wagamese's guide. And as always, he finds that true home means not only community but conversation - good, straight-hearted talk about important things. We all need to tell our stories, he says. Every voice matters.

from abused to perfection!!!
I've listened to several of Richard Wagamese's audio books, but this book sums up all the pain of his past and how, through deep reflection and talking to the Elders, he was able to finally move forward.
Also, he tells of the forced schooling his parents went through. A lot of us think only of the dead victims of these atrocities...But we forget to reflect on the living and how they were ripped from their families and their children who had to grow up with such extreme pain as Richard went through.
Great narration too by Christian Backous!

Loved it!
The writing is exquisite with Truth, poetry, honesty, pain, and a call to honour our deepest dreams of innate compassion and care for each other, ourselves and our mother earth.

Amazing story
It broke my heart when I was reading this story to find out that Richard Wagamese passed away in 2017. He’s someone that I would love to spend time with and to learn from. Sounds like an amazing person they we could all learn a thing or two from.
