Introduction
From: How We Go Home
$0.90
Sinclair states her intentions for the project How We Go Home to offer oral histories of living Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States and how her personal experiences have shaped her desire to create this work. The twelve stories included are diverse, and highlight key issues in the lives of Indigenous peoples in North America today, including the impact of residential schools, intergenerational trauma, and resulting poverty, as well as place-specific issues such as the Highway of Tears. Restoring cultural knowledge that was lost through colonization is another key theme of the stories included in this project.
