Shared Histories is a new narrative and a new imaginary for all of Canada and it must be considered a primer for the ongoing journey of reconciliation - there is no arrival. I love this book. It is smart, has depth and scope, is beautifully written and is solidly researched. We must know the pain and horror - the hard stuff- to appreciate the strength, resilience, determination, and relentless pragmatism of the Witsuwit'en peoples. The future must be founded on the unflinching reality of the past. Treat this book as a friend and teacher and it will nourish you with new stories as it draws from the past. - Val Napoleon, Law Foundation Chair of Aboriginal Justice and Governance at the University of Victoria.
