"""Dempsey Bob’s book […] has teachings for us mere mortals, warnings of cultures being lost, of the importance of passing on our values, of how stories are teachers and have meanings, and how we need to pay attention to those stories before it is too late."" —The British Columbia Review ""A remarkable book [...] glossy and homespun in the best possible ways."" —Galleries West"
