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.

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.

Great insight and storytelling

There are so many impactful messages in this One Native Life.

Trying to wrap your head around being a child Left in the bush - forgotten & cold.

How meaningful empathetic, supportive and loving adoptions & fosterings are to a child and how important it is.

Hearing the stories of the parents mimicking onto the children their experiences from Residential Schools through abuse and verbal assaults is so sad.

Thank you for writing this book .

Richard Wagamese had such an amazing story to tell, and some of it was very tragic, but all of it was written so beautifully. The narration was a little bit fast so I slowed it down to 0.9 speed and it was perfect.

Beautiful
