One Native Life

De: Richard Wagamese

Narrado por: Christian Baskous

One Native Life is a look back down the road Richard Wagamese has traveled - from childhood abuse to adult alcoholism - in reclaiming his identity. It's about what he has learned as a human being, a man, and an Ojibway in his 52 years on Earth.

Whether he's writing about playing baseball, running away with the circus, making bannock, or attending a sacred bundle ceremony, these are stories told in a healing spirit. Through them, Wagamese reveals to listeners how to appreciate life for the journey it is.

Adopted man's memoir. He reclaims his Ojibwa s

I really liked this book. I learned a lot. I really don't know much about the treatment of First People in Canada except for the horrible stories of the children raised in boarding schools and the secret graves on school grounds. The author of this book was removed from his parents (who were boarding school praised alcoholics. The author was placed in (white) foster care and adopted by a white family. He struggled to learn about his trueheritage. He read and sought out native people towhom he could emu
ate and learn.His description of his transformation to an Ojibwa tribesman is practically poetic. The narrator is excellent! it seemed like the writer was yelling us his story. I intend to read more of this author.

Inspiring

This performance was excellent.
I love the way the author explains his journey to find himself, good and awful, by going into little, important details about experiences. Throughout this book, he isn't just explaining his rich history and culture as a Native American, but as a human and how we all are connected, no matter what race. It's truly beautiful.

An excellent work

Very much worth one’s time. I thought the narrator was excellent. Wonderful vignettes that illuminate the author’s life but are universal in such a way that you can incorporate his wisdom into your own life.

Excelent story!

Really like it. Muy buena historia, recomendado. Narrator's voice complemented the story. Will look for more books from the author.

Excellent
