[Bev Randers · Rating 5 out of 5]

"A personal journey into the heart of native identity, highly readable and of extraordinary value. The is a book that casts light and interest in an area where there has been little but darkness and indifference". (The Globe and Mail)
Published in 1997. Hilarious, well written, by former journalist. Highly recommend this read.

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.
