Description
There is much talk in Quebec, as in the rest of Canada, of reconciliation with the First Nations. But for a fruitful rapprochement to take place, for a new era, egalitarian and respectful, to open, the Canadian constitutional framework alone cannot define the rules. Any agreement must also take into account Indigenous traditions. It is in this context that Leanne Simpson's book finds its relevance. The author wonders how to restore strength, consistency and value to a political, legal and cultural heritage undermined by the colonial process. In a way that is as concrete as it is invigorating and audacious, she explores the language, myths, customs and experiences of her ancestral culture in order to recover and reveal this singular and original way of being in the world that has been scorned for too long.
