This bilingual book is a testimony, that of an Innu from Mashteuiatsh, to take – or regain – control. He speaks of education, hunting, marriage, family, life and work in the forest, traditional practices and remedies, but also about being band chief and of the impacts of alcohol on his community. He calls for the integration of traditional knowledge within modern practices and appeals to his people to continue this “taking control” of their lives.
