Amanda Peters describes the Indigenous experience from an astonishingly wide spectrum in time and place - from contact with the first European settlers, to the forced removal of Indigenous children, to the present-day fight for the right to clean water. A young man returns from residential school only to realize he can no longer communicate with his own parents. A young woman finds purpose and healing on the front lines as a water protector. An old man remembers his life as he patiently waits for death. And a young girl nervously dances in her first Mawi'omi. Author of "The Berry Pickers." Residence: Annapolis Valley, N.S.
