Abstract
"In the past there were people who were charged with the responsibility of keeping certain information, the history, the genealogy, the different ceremonies, the different laws and so forth. Others had the gift of prediction. After Residential Schools we need to pool our information to find our teachings and to assign them once again.
...We were never told to count our grand and great-grandchildren.
...It is going to be hard in the future. Firewater, wind, heat - it's going to destroy people
...never to hold a grudge, to forgive people and not to gossip
...In the future there will be wires, something under the ground
...Respect yourself and respect a person, especially Elders that's older than you
These teachings and the stories of their lives on and off the Reserve are wrapped throughout the recollections of the authors within this volume."--Back cover.
