• Summary:"John Brady McDonald has lived in Kistahpinânihk, an area that includes Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, for nearly all his life. A member of the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation and a descendent of Métis leader Jim Brady, John Brady has worked to move carefully between these two nations - to learn their stories, honour their traditions and reclaim their languages, all of which were nearly lost to him. In this wide-ranging collection the author looks at everything from the city of Prince Albert to his experience of residential school, to northern firefighting, to his time in the United Kingdom, where he "discovered" and "claimed" the island for the First People of the Americas ... John Brady pulls us deep into the life he has lived in Kistahpinânihk and asks us to consider what life could be like in a New North Territory."-- Back cover
