Changing Lives: Women and the Northern Ontario Experience

AUTHOR Reitsma-Street, Marge; Kechnie, Margaret
PUBLISHER Dundurn Press (12/17/1996)
PRODUCT TYPE eBook (Open Ebook)

Description

This book provides a glimpse of Aboriginal women in Northern Ontario and it reflects primarily the impact of the European churches and systems on Aboridinal peoples' way of life. The words of the Aboriginal women are gentle, but these words convey the displacement of their way of life in the most powerful way. The power of this book is not only in the stories and history that are told, but also in how all women in Northern Ontario share a respectful life together in a way that I have not witnessed or felt anywhere else. -- Susan Hare, Ojibwe lawer, who practices out of the West Bay First Nation, Manitoulin Island.
