The volume contains a speech written by Justice Murray Sinclair about the meaning of reconciliation. Poetry includes I Am Graffiti by Leanne Simpson, Mechanic by Louise B. Halfe, and The Same as Trees by Nicola I. Campbell. The collection includes two memoir excerpts by Isabelle Knockwook and Sheila Watt-Cloutier. Short Stories by Drew Hayden Taylor and Joseph Boyden are included. Richard Wagamese and Niigonwedom James Sinclair each contribute personal essays. Artwork includes pieces by Tracey Anthony and Carey Newman. Steven Keewatin Sanderson's graphic story effectively explores Rock Bottom themes in this colour comic strip using a limited amount of text. Savannah Simon provides an interview about her efforts to support learning Mi'kmaq in contemporary settings. This volume is an outstanding and relevant collection for Canadian students addressing the TRC's Call to Action through literature. The guide begins with a section for educators about dealing with sensitive issues. Each entry is supported by provincial curriculum connections; teaching ideas for before, during and after each selection; differentiated instruction process; and assessment.--GoodMinds.
