Reviews
"... As I sit here, trying to think of some words of wisdom to contribute, I'm reminded of words once spoken by my mother... ""If my work as an artist has somehow helped to open doors between our people and the non-native community, then I am glad. I am more deeply pleased if it has helped to encourage the young people that have followed our generation to express their pride in our heritage more openly, more joyfully than I would have ever dared to think possible"" (Daphne Odjig, 2001) As hard as I try, I cannot think of any more inspirational words than these. Congratulations to Dawn Leslie for an inspired book that goes a long way towards meeting the aspirations of those that have gone before. - Miigwech. Stan Somerville"
