My Story of Being Metis, Homeless and Finding My Way #1 National Bestseller Finalist, CBC Canada Reads, and a Globe and Mail Book of the Year Thistle's book prompts us to re-examine our understanding of what makes someone worthy and to confront the possibility that exists in spaces we try to forget about. Moments of eloquence also serve as a reminder of the depth and kindness that live in every person. Importantly, he reveals a Canada known to too many peoples yet ignored by the dominant culture, and clearly illustrates what happens when traumatizing systems are the colonial answer to the very problems the colonizers created. Readers will come to better understand violence on Turtle Island - both colonial and otherwise - because of the candor with which Thistle presents it.
