One Native Life

"One Native Life" is a look back down the road Richard Wagamese has traveled -- from childhood abuse to adult alcoholism -- in reclaiming his identity. It's about what he has learned as a human being, a man, and an Ojibway in his 52 years on Earth. Whether he's writing about playing baseball, running away with the circus, making "bannock," or attending a sacred bundle ceremony, these are stories told in a healing spirit. Through them, Wagamese shows readers how to appreciate life for the journey it is.
