Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Much has been written about the lives of First Nations individuals and about aboriginal cultures in British Columbia. Seldom, however, are the writings firsthand, from the people themselves. This book is a notable exception. It chronicles a lifetime of experiences, observations, and achievements of Tyee Ha'wiih Earl Maquinna George, First Hereditary Chief of Ahousaht and offers a portrait of the issues and challenges facing aboriginal people in Canada. It explains, from a First Nations perspective, their deep attachment to their lands and resources and their longstanding quest for social and environmental justice. It reflects a time and a way of life, as well as a personal story, told with humour, wisdom, and truth.
