Another brilliant book by Simpson. It's such a genuine pleasure to read her writing and get a peek into her thought processes and life.
It's a true blend of nature writing, academic insights, memoir/life experiences, underpinned by Anishinaabe worldviews and teachings that bring together the past, present, and future. I could feel her grief with the passing of her friend mentor, Elder Doug Williams that I too was grieving his loss and passing from this world to the next.
I learned a lot from this book (as with all her works, fiction and nonfiction) and I think it's a really valuable contribution to the world and how we can move forward together.
I dog-eared so many pages of brilliant quotes but I know I will take the concept of snowflake sintering into my life and community practice.
Highly recommend checking out this book, her works and her music. And if you have the chance to attend an event where she's speaking, all the better!
