Wholesale Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past

Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec braids together historical and cultural analysis, Indigenous stories, and spirituality to create a vision of the world where we are all better relatives to one another. • Provides a primer on settler colonialism from an Indigenous-Christian point of view to acknowledge past wrongs • Encourages those with settler ancestry to consider ways to become better relatives to the land, to marginalized groups, and to one another • Includes an Ambe (meaning "Let's go!" in Anishinaabe) section at the end of each chapter with practical ideas and action steps for readers • Written from the unique perspective of Anishinaabe-Ukrainian writer whose ancestors were both Native and settler "A must-read for those working toward understanding and dismantling colonization. Patty Krawec reminds us what it means to come home to ourselves, this earth, and one another, and invites us to ask the beautiful, difficult questions that will help us reclaim that belonging." --Kaitlin Curtice, author of Native: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God Patty Krawec (Anishinaabe Ukrainian) is author of Becoming Kin and Bad Indians Book Club and cofounder of the Nii'kinaaganaa Foundation.
