Summary:
"Can Indigenous and non-Indigenous people live in a
treaty
relationship despite over 200 years of social, cultural, and political alienation? This is the challenge of
reconciliation
-- and its beautiful promise. Twenty-five years after the Ipperwash crisis, writer and social activist Heather Menzies showed up in Nishnaabe territory in Southwestern Ontario, near where her forebears settled, hoping to meet her would-be
treaty
kin
. She was invited to help document the broken-treaty story behind the crisis, as remembered by Nishnaabe Elders and other community members involved in reclaiming their homeland at Stoney Point. But she soon realized that even the most sincere intentions can be steeped in a colonial mindset that hinders understanding,
reconciliation
, and healing. In this thoughtful, sensitive, nuanced account, Heather Menzies shares her own decolonizing
journey
. Her story shows how a settler, through respectful listening, can learn what being in a
treaty
relationship might mean, and what changes -- personal and institutional -- are needed to embrace genuine
reconciliation
."--Publisher.
