{"product_id":"one-native-life","title":"One Native Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2005, award-winning writer Richard Wagamese moved with his partner to a cabin outside Kamloops, B.C. In the crisp mountain air Wagamese felt a peace he'd seldom known before. Abused and abandoned as a kid, he'd grown up feeling there was nowhere he belonged. For years, only alcohol and moves from town to town seemed to ease the pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eOne Native Life\u003c\/em\u003e, Wagamese looks back down the road he has travelled in reclaiming his identity and talks about the things he has learned as a human being, a man and an Ojibway in his fifty-two years. Whether he's writing about playing baseball, running away with the circus, attending a sacred bundle ceremony or meeting Pierre Trudeau, he tells these stories in a healing spirit. Through them, Wagamese celebrates the learning journey his life has been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree of rhetoric and anger despite the horrors he has faced, Wagamese's prose resonates with a peace that has come from acceptance. Acceptance is an Aboriginal principle, and he has come to see that we are all neighbours here. \u003cem\u003eOne Native Life\u003c\/em\u003e is his tribute to the people, the places and the events that have allowed him to stand in the sunshine and celebrate being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Of Toronto Press Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51968049250578,"sku":"9781553653127","price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/3429\/3266\/files\/4180883482741.jpg?v=1768953051","url":"https:\/\/bookstore.ubc.ca\/products\/one-native-life","provider":"UBC Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
