Spirit Moves: The Story of Six Generations of Native Women

Rating:
Summary: Spirit Moves touches many places within my spirit.
Review: I picked this book up after something in it called to me. Uponexamining the cover I could see the author as a woman I've dreamed offor many years and would like to meet her in person to see if she too remembers me. It is a powerful tale which many of Native American ancestory who have been far too long removed from their heratige should enjoy and maybe be awakened too.

Summary: A powerful testiment of Native courage, pride, & forgiveness
Review: Loree Boyd has done more than merely written a great book. She has demonstrated the pride, strength and respect so characteristic of Metis/Native people in Canada. As a Metis/Ojibway person myself, I found this story, based on Loree's family history, to be moving and inspirational. I laughed, I cried, and I smiled thoughout reading this book. Loree's personal story extends beyond the words of this book; touching the lives of many Metis and Native families throughout Canada. Knowing and recognizing the similarities of my own Metis/Native family history made reading "Spirit Moves" all the more bittersweat. This book should be read in every household in Canada- Metis, Native, and white! Mii-gwetch Loree for your courage, your pride and your story! In Spirit, James Fortier
