Translated from English by Caroline Lavoie

A tribute from a son to his father, The Power to Walk tells the story of Tobasonakwut, an Anishinaabe chief of the Ojibwe Nation. A residential school survivor, grand chief and civil rights advocate in the 1960s and 1970s, he led, despite the cancer that was eating away at him, a major undertaking of reconciliation that remains one of his most important legacies. This story bears witness to the struggle and paths of resistance of Canada's First Nations.

Speaker, politician, rapper and journalist, Wab Kinew is one of Canada's most respected Indigenous intellectuals.
