“We may not relight the fires that used to burn in our villages,
but we can carry the embers from those fires in our hearts and
learn to light new fires in a new world.” Ojibwe tradition
calls for fathers to walk their children through the world, sharing
the ancient understanding “that we are all, animate and inanimate
alike, living on the one pure breath with which the Creator gave
life to the Universe.” In this new entry in the Seedbank series,
an intimate series of letters to the six-year-old son from whom he
was estranged, Richard Wagamese fulfills this traditional duty with
grace and humility, describing his own path through
life—separation from his family as a boy, substance abuse,
incarceration, and ultimately the discovery of books and
writing—and braiding this extraordinary story with the teachings
of his people, in which animals were the teachers of human beings,
until greed and a desire to control the more-than-human world led
to anger, fear, and eventually profound alienation. At once
a deeply moving memoir and a fascinating elucidation of a rich
indigenous cosmology, Walking the Ojibwe Path is an unforgettable
journey.
