Reseña del editor:

Comprising a series of conversational recollections, this booktells the story of Rena Point Bolton, a Sto:lo matriarch andcraftswoman. The narrative touches on Point Bolton's childhood bythe Fraser River during the Depression, her ancestor, the warriorXeyteleq, and her later years on a reserve. While the Sto:lo peoplekept secret their cultural practices to avoid persecution bypaternalistic institutions, Point Bolton helped to revive some of theold crafts and ceremonies. The result of a long-term collaborationbetween Richard Daly and Point Bolton, this book attests to PointBolton's desire to inspire her people to blend traditional"ways of knowing" with the pursuit of modern education.
