This book is gratefully dedicated to my mother, Deanna Kathline Justice, who taught me to read and encouraged my dreams, even when they took me far from home.

These are stories worth following home.

Our bodies, like compasses, still know the way.

gidigaa bizhiw is a strategist and a warrior. the strategist sits with the pain. or maybe she sits beside the pain. maybe the warrior, the one that carries the burden of peace also carries the burden of loveof embracing connection in the face of utter disconnection. maybe there is no limit on love.

Those who have shown me intellectual and personal generosity in the course of writing this book are far too many in number to list here, and I apologize to anyone I may miss in these thanks. Among the most immediate are these: to Christine Miskonoodinkwe Smith, former student and an impressive multi-genre writer in her own right, who first sparked the idea for this project when she asked me to write on the topic for her blog; to the stalwart Lisa Quinn, who was unfailingly encouraging even when Id pushed well past any reasonable expectation of patience with the manuscripts lateness; and to Siobhan McMenemy, former University of Toronto Press colleague and now Wilfrid Laurier University Press editor extraordinaire, whose good guidance helped smooth out the rough edges of the project and encouraged me to be clearer, bolder, and more expansive in my revisions; to Deanna Reder, Margery Fee, Sophie McCall, and June Scudeler, who never ceased to believe in the project or me, even when I was often doubtful about the merit of one or the other; and to David Gaertner, whose early enthusiasm for the first chapters gave me the kick-start I needed to keep with it. Special thanks to Mark Rifkin and my two anonymous reviewers, all of whom gave such excellent and generous suggestions for revision; Im hopeful the final version of the work meets with your approval. And mahalo to kuualoha hoomanawanui for the incredibly helpful response to my reading of Queen Liliuokalanis writing. Thanks, as well, to all the writers and publishers who provided permission to reprint work in this volume.

Wado to Joseph Erb for the evocative cover art that so powerfully speaks to the books concerns (incidentally, its the first Cherokee art thats ever graced one of my book covers), and to Lara Minja and the team at Wilfrid Laurier University Press for creating a book design I wanted to honour with equally fine content; to my research assistant, Sol Diana, who helped get the messy appendix into tip-top shape; to my students and colleagues at the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto, who continue to inform, inspire, and expand my world and its possibilities; to my fellow members of the Indigenous Literary Studies Association for their vital work in support of Indigenous writing and literary criticism, especially to the much-missed co-founders, Renate Eigenbrod and Jo-Ann Episkenew.
