About a writer, and Mohawk, who returns to live on his Six Nations reserve. Written as a series of essays, covering everything from reserve politics, to national relations between aboriginal groups and the Canadian/provincial governments, as well as his efforts to keep his cabin running, and his rediscover of Iroquois traditions. A super interesting book, that clarifies a lot of the politics that relate, to lesser or greater degrees, to most reserves; as well as just an interesting, warm-hearted personal story.
