The Gatherings
Reimagining Indigenous-Settler Relations
La description
Thirty years ago, in Wabanaki territory—a region encompassing the state of Maine and the Canadian Maritimes—a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals came together to explore some of the most pressing questions at the heart of Truth and Healing efforts in the United States and Canada. The Gatherings tells the moving story of these meetings in the words of their participants. Reuniting to reflect on how their lives were changed by these experiences and how they continue to be impacted by them, the participants share the valuable lessons they learned.

"Calling themselves collectively 'Mawopiyane,' a Passamaquoddy word meaning 'let us sit together,' they spent several years piecing together this simply framed, but profoundly encouraging book."
