A Steady Brightness of Being - Truths, Wisdom, and Love from Celebrated Indigenous Voices

Drawing on the wisdom and personal experience of its esteemed contributors, this first-of-its-kind anthology tackles complex questions of our times to provide a rich tapestry of Indigenous life, past, present, and future. The letters explore the histories that have brought us to this moment, the challenges and crises faced by present-day communities, and the visions that will lead us to a new architecture for thinking about Indigeneity. Including contributions from film actress and television writer Tamara Podemski, Governor General''s Award-winning author David A. Robertson, and arts journalist Jesse Wente, and taking its structure from the medicine bundle-tobacco, sage, cedar, and sweetgrass-this beautiful collection will stir and empower readers, as well as enrich an essential and ongoing conversation about what reconciliation looks like and what it means to be Indigenous today.
