Publisher's Summary
One Native Life is a look back down the road Richard Wagamese has traveled - from childhood abuse to adult alcoholism - in reclaiming his identity. It's about what he has learned as a human being, a man, and an Ojibway in his 52 years on Earth.
Whether he's writing about playing baseball, running away with the circus, making bannock, or attending a sacred bundle ceremony, these are stories told in a healing spirit. Through them, Wagamese reveals to listeners how to appreciate life for the journey it is.

This book warmed my heart ❤️
This generous offering of positive life milestones viewed through the eyes of Richard Wagamese, an extraordinarily talented writer ,is a gift. He captures the beauty and spirit of the people and events that nurtured his growth despite profound personal trauma. The narrators richly mellow voice perfectly articulates the writers eloquent prose. This is a book to savor and to reread.

Poetic and relaxing
In a very loose autobiography, the authour presents some very casual realizations through his own meditations about life. It is very poetic. While it is not written in prose, there is a definite pattern to the writing, which I liken to a "rule of three". Often, but not universally, the authour will finish sentences with 3 adjectives, or write a paragraph about a specific subject in 3 descriptive lines, making the prose read like poetry, which I like in spite of that fact. I'm not a fan of poetry. I find most of it boring and too abstract to be interesting, but the way this book is written is just close enough to that rhythmic pattern to be interesting. It is definitely written for an older audience, one that already has many years under their belt, in order to fully appreciate his thoughts. It is a peaceful, easy read.

Reflective
I really enjoy Wagamese's writing. His stories offer many insights and wisdom. The reading sounded a little flat in some places, but it is worth listening.

Great insight and storytelling
Overall this was a great story told in a wonderful way. I think it is a great way for people to see life from another viewpoint. Although I lived in country it was on a farm and very different from the life Richard Wagnese lived both in the city and it the country. I appreciate this insight.

Amazing stories by a beautiful man.
Beautifully composed life lessons shared in humble non-threatening accessible way. A man that is deeply missed. Wagamies has the ability to impart such wisdom and knowledge through his own life's journey. I am thankful that he has left behind these stories for generations to come.

Why?
Amazing author but why is this not read by an anishinaabe? So weird in a Southern American accent!
