Thoughtful and interesting. I read this book with other teachers at my school. Can't wait for the discussions we'll have later. This book opened my eyes to a whole lot. Things I've intuitively been meaning to integrate to my teaching practice put into words. Things that went down, state sponsored, that I didn't know about. Things we can do to weave more Indigenous conscious techniques, practices, and knowledge into mainstream schools. I'm excited for this new lens.

How to review such a book? On the one hand, it’s a dissertation. On another, it’s a love letter to the authors’ families and the Haida people.
A grave demonstration of the almost complete cultural genocide of Haida people, but at the same time an insight into the ways ancestral knowledge carried forward, and the ways young Indigenous people can build new traditions that are needed, based on the ways of knowing and the ways of respecting one another.
I want to hug this author as thanks for sharing her insights and being vulnerable with them.

This was a really good book, highly recommend.  I really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Haida culture and beliefs on this book.
