Book SynopsisTrade Review"As I read What was Said to Me I felt like I was sitting with my grandmother when she too shared stories, teachings, culture and tradition. Such a beautiful reflection of Ruby's vision: a legacy that guides and directs her family." -- Robina ThomasExecutive Director, Indigenous Academic and Community Engagement, University of Victoria
" What Was Said to Me is a beautiful and generous gift our Aunty, Sti'tum'atul'wut, has shared with us. It is rich with teachings from beginning to end. It is an example of the love she had for the people." -- Samaya Jardey, Director of Language and Cultural Affairs, Squamish Nation
"A synthesis of memoir, oral history and auto-ethnography, Ruby Peter's story is a powerful testament to the persistence of Indigenous life on Canada's West Coast." -- Wendy Wickwire, Author of At the Bridge: James Teit and an Anthropology of Belonging
