He now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he continues to write and participate in various programs and ceremonies to continue his healing journey. The book started off in the early 2000s as a written submission to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that toured Canada.

The result is what you have here today.view less
