This fully restored edition of a Canadian classic offers an unflinching memoir of Maria Campbell's experiences as a Métis woman. Born in Northern Saskatchewan, Maria's heritage includes a Scottish grandfather and a Métis grandmother, a niece of Gabriel Dumont, and a mother of Cree and French-American descent. Originally published in 1973, this extraordinary account delves into the poverty, oppression, alcoholism, addiction, and tragedy Maria faced throughout her childhood and early adulthood, all while navigating a society marked by discrimination and mistrust. Amidst these struggles, the memoir also highlights moments of love and joy, reflecting on family ties and the search for identity within a heritage that is neither solely Indigenous nor Anglo. It showcases strength, resilience, and an indomitable spirit. This edition features a new introduction by Indigenous scholar Dr. Kim Anderson, detailing Maria's impactful work since the book's initial release, along with an afterword by the author discussing the changes and continuities for Indigenous people in Canada today. Additionally, it restores previously missing pages from the original text, enhancing this groundbreaking work's significance.
