Description
In this landmark memoir, Maria Campbell traces her life growing up Métis in Saskatchewan, illuminating the pressures of identity, belonging, and survival in a world shaped by dispossession. Through vivid, personal storytelling, she moves from childhood into early adulthood, confronting the consequences of colonial policies and the intimate costs they impose on family, community, and selfhood. The book explores themes of cultural resilience, systemic injustice, and the search for dignity—while also offering moments of hope and determination. Written with Campbell’s clear, unsentimental voice and grounded in lived experience, this is both a powerful personal narrative and a foundational work in Indigenous Canadian literature.
