Résumé
Longlisted, RBC Taylor Prize, 2019 Winner, Saskatchewan Book Award, Indigenous People's Publishing, 2020 Shortlisted, First Nation Communities READ Award, 2020-2021An unflinching memoir of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds of sexual assault from a resilient, emerging Indigenous voice. Helen Knott, a highly accomplished Indigenous woman, seems to have it all. But in her memoir, she offers a different perspective.
In My Own Moccasins is an unflinching account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. It is also the story of sisterhood, the power of ceremony, the love of family, and the possibility of redemption. With gripping moments of withdrawal, times of spiritual awareness, and historical insights going back to the signing of Treaty 8 by her great-great grandfather, Chief Bigfoot, Helen's journey exposes the legacy of colonialism, while reclaiming her spirit.
