• Summary:""We are all treaty people," and as Treaty People we are called to action to reconcile the legacy left by the intentional system set in place to assimilate the "Indian" into mainstream society -- the Residential School System. But what does that really look like? Reconciliation is not about fixing as Herman Michell clearly illustrates; it is about living in the liminal space between both cultures with the best intent of understanding, acceptance and ethical intent to listen and learn from each other. As he did in Shattered Spirits in the Land of the Little Sticks, Herman Michell, sets out in his newest book to explain, again in a very clear and succinct dialogue, what reconciliation looks like through an Indigenous lens -- the importance of re-connecting with the land, with the self, with family, with community and with society. Importantly, he explains how the once disempowering franchise of education is the critically important tool to empowerment and voice for Indigenous people. He concludes by teaching the seasonal cycle of the northern caribou, a metaphor to illustrate that like the never-ending cycles and journey of the caribou herd, so too does reconciliation need to be never-ending. As Michell advises as, "we weave through the landscape in cycles of refinement" we must never stop this journey together." -- Back cover.
