 BOOK: "How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America"\n\n"How We Go 
 Home" shares contemporary Indigenous stories in the long and ongoing fight 
 to protect Native land and life. In myriad ways, each narrator’s life has 
 been shaped by loss, injustice, resilience, and the struggle to share space 
 with settler nations whose essential aim is to take all that is 
 Indigenous.\n\n“ 'How We Go Home' is a testament to modern-day Indigenous 
 revitalization, often in the face of the direst of circumstances. Told as 
 firsthand accounts on the frontlines of resistance and resurgence, these 
 life stories inspire and remind that Indigenous life is all about building 
 a community through the gifts we offer and the stories we tell.”\n— 
 Niigaan Sinclair, Winnipeg Free Press\n\n“The voices of 'How We Go Home' 
 are singing a chorus of love and belonging alongside the heat of 
 resistance, and the sound of Indigenous life joyfully dances off these 
 pages.”\n—Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, author of As We Have Always 
 Done\n\nThis event is cosponsored by Haymarket Books, Fernwood Publishing 
 and Voice of Witness. While all of our events are freely available, we ask 
 that those who are able make a solidarity donation in support of our 
 important educational and publishing 
 work.\n_____________________________________________________________\n\nPANEL
