    Summary:

    How We Go Home shares contemporary first-person stories in the long and ongoing fight to protect Native land, rights, and life. Each of the twelve narrators' lives has been shaped by loss, injustice, and resilience—and by the struggle to share space with settler nations whose essential aim is to take all that is Indigenous. In her introduction, Sinclair writes: “These are stories about returning to place, revitalizing culture and language, and re-forming traditional support systems. These are also stories about what we all carry within us and the multiplicity of choices we can each make to recover what has been lost to us, to sustain what we have been given, to continue, to flourish. With patience, perseverance, and bravery, these narrators are working to continue their cultures and to rebuild their nations. Listening to their stories has helped me to recover pieces of mine.” Amplifying Indigenous voices and allowing narrators to tell their stories in their own words, this book is a powerful tool for building connections and understanding across cultures and communities.
