This book is born out of the need to share experiences and story. Storytelling is one of the most powerful forms of passing on teachings and values that we have in our Indigenous communities. This book weaves personal stories to explore mothering practices and examines historical contexts and underpinnings that contribute to contemporary parenting practices. We share our stories with the hope that it will resonate with readers whether they in the classroom or in the community. Like our contributors, we are from all walks of life sharing diverse perspectives about mothering whether it be as a mother, auntie, kokum or other adopted role."-- UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1919067 ER -
