A memoir of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the lasting wounds of sexual violence Helen Knott, a highly accomplished Indigenous woman, seems to have it all. But in her memoir, she offers a different perspective. In My Own Moccasins is an unflinching account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. It is also the story of sisterhood, the power of ceremony, the love of family, and the possibility of redemption. With gripping moments of withdrawal, times of spiritual awareness, and historical insights going back to the signing of Treaty 8 by her great-great grandfather, Chief Bigfoot, her journey exposes the legacy of colonialism, while reclaiming her spirit.Languages:EnglishPublisher:University of Regina PressISBN-13:9780889777316ISBN-10:889777314UPC:9780889777316Book Category:Biography & Autobiography, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:Cultural, Ethnic & Regional, Women, Sexual Abuse & HarassmentBook Topic:IndigenousSize:7.40 x 4.70 x 0.90 inchesWeight:0.6504Product ID:SC2X8Q2TX7
