The Reason You Walk by Wab Kinew

3.0

I don't read a lot of autobiographies but I love Wab Kinew and was very interested in this story. It was more than a biography. The topics covered his father's life, his life and the struggles of indigenous life in Canada with the residential,schooling system and reconciliation attempts. I enjoyed that the book followed all of these tangents. The feelings Wab describes after watching his father die is very relatable for anyone who has gone through a similar process. The book allows us to learn more about one residential school survivor and how this experience affected all those in his life.
