Description
Book SynopsisReframing Manitou Aki (Creator's Land) history from the perspective of the Ojibway-Anishinabe, Our Hearts Are as One Fire shares a vision for the leaders of today and tomorrow.
Trade ReviewFontaine locates the context for the reader before introducing his own personal narrative and this lends even more credence to the book… This account deserves to be read carefully and particularly by those who may not wish to know its truths.
-- Réamonn Ó Ciaráin, director of education, Celtic Junction Arts Center * Celtic Junction Arts Review *
Our Hearts Are as One Fire shines when taken as a teaching text... This book is a powerful reminder that Anishinabe resistance has been ongoing for hundreds of years and continues to this day. -- Anna J. Willow, Ohio State University * American Indian Culture and Research Journal *
