À propos de cet audio

Mamaskatch, Darrel J. McLeod’s 2018 memoir of growing up Cree in Northern Alberta, was a publishing sensation - winning the Governor General’s Award for Nonfiction, shortlisted for many other major prizes, and translated into French and German editions. In Peyakow, McLeod continues the poignant story of his impoverished youth, beset by constant fears of being dragged down by the self-destruction and deaths of those closest to him as he battles the bullying of White classmates, copes with the trauma of physical and sexual abuse, and endures painful separation from his family and culture. With steely determination, he triumphs: now, elementary teacher; now, school principal; now, head of an Indigenous delegation to the UN in Geneva; now, executive in the Government of Canada - and now, a celebrated author.

Brutally frank but buoyed throughout by McLeod’s unquenchable spirit, Peyakow - a title borrowed from the Cree word for “one who walks alone” - is an inspiring account of triumph against unimaginable odds. McLeod’s perspective as someone whose career path has crossed both sides of the Indigenous/White chasm resonates with particular force in today’s Canada.

This is a very powerful story, and the beginning is quite interesting but it drags toward the end a bit.

Powerful Story but Drags at the End a Bit

a critical review. the story ran back and fourth with no real story to weave. almost like reading his diary but only segments. a tough life I don't understand but i got the sense he's self centered and I'm assuming hurt a lot of people in his life. no body is perfect I also get that. he had some great insight to Canada and the politics behind the scenes and it seemed like a he had many accomplishments in his career with an always difficult government. I get why this book was made at a time like today. a sexually confused indigenous with transgender siblings and family. publisher must have thought perfect but I think with some guidance this story could have been a lot better. great performance by the reader. I think that's why i kept listening and in the end maybe i just don't get it being a person who didn't live a life like his.

confusing

A book which took me to a deeper understanding of how little I know/understand the colonial system I have always just taken for granted and lived by. Written with gentleness and care.

So much to learn

Learned more history. How a culture and people were almost made extinct. How the spirit can survive and even thrive. Very much enjoyed this book.

powerful book.
