Reviews

"[Johnny Neyelle's] recorded stories were meticulously translated by his son Morris Neyelle and editor Alana Fletcher to blossom into this beautiful memoire, which is truly a guide to being. .. An invaluable road map, a gift from Johnny Neyelle that will help guide the people of Denedeh and everyone else to a positive life. "

- Deborah Shatz

“To paraphrase Johnny Neyelle, these stories are about learning to live, they are about cultivating an ethos that will help us navigate our increasingly interdependent lives together, on the land that sustains us, well into the future.”

- Glen Sean Coulthard, Native American and Indigenous Studies Journal, Spring 2022
