"Drawing from ancestral knowledge, as well as her experience as an attorney and activist, Sherri Mitchell addresses some of the most crucial issues of our day, such as environmental protection and human rights.

For those seeking change, this book offers a set of cultural values that will preserve our collective survival for future generations."--From publisher.
