Biography & Autobiography. Multi-Cultural. Nonfiction. HTML: We all share a common humanity. No matter how long or difficult the path ahead, we are all one. Reconciliation belongs to everyone. In this profound book, Chief Robert Joseph, globally recognized peacebuilder and Hereditary Chief of the Gwawaenuk People, traces his journey from his childhood surviving residential school to his present-day role as a leader who inspires individual hope, collective change, and global transformation. Before we get to know where we are going, we need to know where we came from. Reconciliation represents a long way forward, but it is a pathway toward our higher humanity, our highest selves, and an understanding that everybody matters. In Namwayut, Chief Joseph teaches us to transform our relationships with ourselves and each other. As we learn about, honour, and respect the truth of the stories we tell, we can also discover how to dismantle the walls of discrimination, hatred, and racism in our society. Chief Joseph is known as one of the leading voices on peacebuilding in our time, and his dedication to reconciliation has been recognized with multiple honorary degrees and awards. As one of the remaining first-language speakers of Kwak'wala, his wisdom is grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing while making space for something bigger and better for all of us. .… (lisätietoja)

This is an exceptional, important book. It's not an easy read, as it's full of hard experiences and hard truths, but it is a book that every Canadian should read.

Hell, any person in any country that has seen any form of racism, misogyny, or hate...any really, can any country claim that has never happened?

Chief Joseph presents a look back at his life, showing the tough, yet mostly happy life he had before being mandated to a Residential School for deprogramming, the aftermath of those horrifying years, and his eventual path back to hope and forgiveness.

Along the way, we're shown the depths that humanity can fall to, as well as the heights they can achieve with love and the simple acts of kindness.

I am shamed that the country I live in perpetrated these hateful acts against our Indigenous population, aimed at literally wiping them out, and I am heartened that these brave souls have managed not only to overcome this genocide, but to find some peace and a path forward.

This is an incredible story, and I'm better for having experienced it. (

Please note that I had the privilege of knowing, and working with, Bobby Joseph for a couple of years on the Indian Residential Schools Resolution issue. I found him to be a thoughtful and courageous leader with deep concern for residential school Survivors. It broke my heart to hear the details of what happened to him as a child at St. Michael's residential school.

In this book, Chief Joseph tells not only his own story, but draws on teachings and insights he has gained over the years to show us how reconciliation can be achieved, both on an interpersonal level and on a broader, societal level. It is, ultimately, a hopeful book. It teaches us about Aboriginal traditions and society that can bring about a deeper understanding among all Canadians. It is a courageous book as it is written with honesty and doesn't sugar coat things. At the same time, it focuses on the future and making our country a better place. Very worth reading! (

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. "Desiderata," Max Ehrmann, 1927

This book is dedicated to the Survivors of Indian residential schools with special remembrance for those who never returned home. These are the child heroes who exposed the truth and the spectre of genocide.
