This book provides a glimpse of Aboriginal women in Northern Ontario and it reflects primarily the impact of the European churches and systems on Aboriginal peoples way of life. The words of the Aboriginal women are gentle, but these words convey the displacement of their way of life in the most powerful way. The power of this book is not only in the stories and history that are told, but also in how all women in Northern Ontario share a respectful life together in a way that i have not witnessed or felt anywhere else.
General Note
The Northern Ontario we know has been changed and influenced in part by dynamic and vigorous women. This collection gives us the valuable historical account of these pioneering women and also provides a picture of the activities of contemporary women as they work for change
