Summary:
"Thirty years ago, in Wabanaki territory
--
a region encompassing the state of
Maine
and the Canadian Maritimes
--
a group of Native and non-Native individuals came together to explore some of the most pressing questions at the heart of Truth and Healing efforts in the United States and Canada. What price do we pay for the tragic, unresolved, and fraught relationship between generations of settlers and
Indigenous
peoples
of the land? Can the divide be bridged and, if so, how? Meeting over several years in long-weekend gatherings, in a Wabanaki-led traditional Council format, assumptions were challenged, perspectives upended, and stereotypes shattered. Alliances and friendships were formed that endure to this day. The Gatherings tells the moving story of these meetings in the words of both
Indigenous
and non-Indigenous participants. Reuniting to reflect on how their lives were changed by their experiences and how they continue to be impacted by them, the participants share the valuable lessons they learned. Themes emerge, such as the mutual benefits that can be achieved by coming together; what meeting in a Talking Circle, surrounded by ceremony, taught the participants; and what
Indigenous
ways of knowing can teach us all. The participants were given a rare window into one another's lives and, in The Gatherings, both
Indigenous
and non-Indigenous readers may come to view one another with new eyes. The many voices represented in The Gatherings offer insights and strategies that can inform change at the individual, group, and systems levels. These voices affirm that authentic relationships between
Indigenous
and non-Indigenous
peoples
- with their attendant anxieties, guilt, anger, embarrassments, and, with time, even laughter and mutual affection
--
are key to our shared futures here in North America. Now, more than ever, it is critical that we come together to reimagine Indigenous-settler relations."--Publisher.
