One of the leading voices on peace building in our time, Chief Robert Joseph, provides a powerful map for collective change and transformation.
We all share a common humanity. No matter how long or difficult the path ahead, we are all one. In this profound memoir, globally recognized peacebuilder and Hereditary Chief of the Gwawaenuk People, Chief Robert Joseph, traces his journey from his childhood surviving residential school to his present-day leadership efforts to bring individual hope, collective change, and global transformation. Before we get to know where we are going, we need to know where we came from. Reconciliation represents a long way forward, but it is a pathway toward our higher humanity, our highest selves, and an understanding that everybody matters. In this moving and inspiring book, Chief Joseph teaches us to transform our relationships with ourselves and each other. As we learn about, honour, and respect the truth of the stories we tell ourselves and each other, we can also discover how to dismantle the walls of discrimination, hatred, and racism.
CHIEF ROBERT JOSEPH, OBC, OC, is a Hereditary Chief of the Gwawaenuk First Nation, Ambassador for Reconciliation Canada, and Chairman of the Native American Leadership Alliance for Peace and Reconciliation who has sat with leaders around the globe, including South Africa, Israel, Japan, and the US.
