This is a compact book that has a lot of info in some ways but is minimal on info in others. Of course the author is trying to offer an introduction to his indigenous culture (Anishinaabe) and also avoid teaching anything that would be closed to a wider audience, so the minimal details make sense. Still I learned a lot. I underline my books and of 139 pages, I underlined something on about 75% of them.
As an alcoholic in recovery who also works in substance use disorder treatment, I appreciated the parts talking about addiction as related to having a relationship with a spirit which kind of reminded me of Johann Hari’s TED Talk describing humans need to bond and that if we don’t do so with others we might with a substance. As someone whose spirituality is heavily tied to animal messengers, I also appreciated the sections on the 7 teachings of the grandfathers in which each teaching is tied to an animal.
If you are interested in this book, you may also want to follow him on TikTok (@asinaabe) where he covers many topics.

Complex concepts explained in a simple, straightforward, and supremely engaging way. It reads quickly, and demands to instantly be read again. This is the kind of unassuming book that can change lives.
