Re-creating the danceBy Nell TLeanne Simpson provides more than an astute and much-needed critique of empty colonial reconciliation processes; she offers a clear alternative for Indigenous Peoples who are working to establish reconstruction and resurgence on their own terms.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book on Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) culture and resurgenceBy D. VoelkerThis is an amazing and inspiring book. Leanne Simpson blends personal stories; oral tradition from elders (as approved by said elders); and insightful analysis to explore the past; present; and future for Anishinaabe people on Turtle Island (aka; North America). Her message is relevant and even urgent for the Anishinaabe; for other Native people; and for non-Natives alike.0 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
