Abstract
"Brandi Morin is an internationally recognized French/Cree/Iroquois journalist known for her clear-eyed and empathetic reporting on Indigenous oppression in North America. As a survivor of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls crisis, she uses her voice to shed light on and seek justice for those who have not survived the rampant violence. Our Voice of Fire moves through Morin's years as a foster kid and runaway who fell victim to predatory men and an oppressive system to her career as an internationally acclaimed journalist, chronicling her journey to overcome enormous adversity and find her purpose, and her power, through writing. Morin's compelling, honest story is full of heart and faith and driven by the purifying fire of a pursuit for justice."--Back cover.
