| Summary: | Chief Robert Joseph, a Hereditary Chief of the Gwawaenuk People, recounts his life from his childhood surviving residential school to his present-day role as a globally recognized peacebuilder. With generosity, moving storytelling and powerful teachings, he invites us to embark on a journey toward personal and global reconciliation. Before we can see where we're going, we need to know where we came from. Reconciliation is a process of looking back to find a pathway forward, toward our higher humanity, our highest selves and an understanding that everybody matters. Chief Joseph teaches us how to find that path and transform our relationships with ourselves and each other. Along the way, he shows us how to dismantle the walls of discrimination, hatred and racism in our society. Chief Joseph is one of our leading voices of reconciliation. His wisdom is grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing, ways that make space for something bigger and better for us all. |
