Abstract
"Without Reserve: Stories from Urban Natives is a collection of autobiographical profiles of individual Native people who live in a Western Canadian city. In a real and powerful way, their voices and words give a sense of the difficulty, diversity, joy, and pride in being a contemporary urban Native.
Urban Natives often have no band or Treaty status, or are not represented in discussions about Canada's treatment of the Native population. With the publication of this book, now, some of them will have a voice.
The voices you will hear are young, middle-aged, old; female, male; voices of those who have found a spiritual centre in their Native roots, or those whose journey toward the centre has not begun. Listen to them. They have something to tell you."--Back cover.
