"A beautiful rendering of how recovery for our peoples is inevitably about reconnecting with Indigenous identities, lands, cultural and healing practices." - Kim Anderson, author of Reconstructing Native Womenhood 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, her journey exposes the legacy of colonialism, while reclaiming her spirit. It is also the story of sisterhood, the power of ceremony, the love of family, and the possibility of redemption. In My Own Moccasins is an unflinching account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. But in her memoir, she offers a different perspective. Helen Knott, a highly accomplished Indigenous woman, seems to have it all.
