Many of the poems in this collection honor the elders and anticipate the enjoyment of the natural world. Restoring the importance of Mother Earth and reclaiming her power is central to the premise of this collection of talk stories and poems. First Peoples were never to be separated from Mother Earth. At the point of colonial contact, the rights of the people were violated. We are to remember we are all interconnected, no matter what. Much healing and honoring needs be accorded ancestral ways, now and forever.
