Introduction: Digging up the medicines -- Weaving the stories -- People and places -- The life cycle begins: from conception to walking -- The "good life" and the "fast life": childhood and youth -- Adult years: the women's circle -- Grandmothers and elders -- Bundling the layers: building on the strengths of the past to take us into the future.
Rediscovering the stories of the past serves as a healing force in the decolonization and recovery of Aboriginal communities. Anderson shares the teachings of elders from the Canadian prairies and Ontario to illustrate how different life stages were experienced by Métis, Cree, and Anishinaabe girls and women during the mid-twentieth century. Anderson explains how this traditional knowledge can be applied toward rebuilding healthy Indigenous communities today.
