In the crisp mountain air \u003cstrong\u003eWagamese\u003c\/strong\u003e felt a peace he’d seldom known before. Abused and abandoned as a kid, he’d grown up feeling there was nowhere he belonged. For years, only alcohol and moves from town to town seemed to ease the pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne Native Life\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eWagamese\u003c\/strong\u003e looks back down the road he has travelled in reclaiming his identity and talks about the things he has learned as a human being, a man and an Ojibway in his fifty-two years. Whether he’s writing about playing baseball, running away with the circus, attending a sacred bundle ceremony or meeting Pierre Trudeau, he tells these stories in a healing spirit. Through them,\u003cstrong\u003e Wagamese\u003c\/strong\u003e celebrates the learning journey his life has been.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFree of rhetoric and anger despite the horrors he has faced, \u003cstrong\u003eWagamese\u003c\/strong\u003e’s prose resonates with a peace that has come from acceptance. Acceptance is an Aboriginal principle, and he has come to see that we are all neighbours here. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne Native Life\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is his tribute to the people, the places and the events that have allowed him to stand in the sunshine and celebrate being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wagamese, Richard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Memoir)","offer_id":47533285933280,"sku":"","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_af195202-43f9-4629-ad3f-7804097bca7a.jpg?v=1750780072","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9781553653127","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
