Review Quotes:
"This book is a true gift that is rich in philosophy, story, and practical wisdom - expressing a powerful message about the meaning of care, protection, and joy in relation to our lands." --Kyle Whyte, University of Michigan, USA
"Richmond, Coombes, and Louis have produced a book that is both nuanced and profound. It will take a prominent place in the literature of Indigenous geographies and serve as a resource for cultural geography and research methods courses as well as an introduction for scholars not yet familiar with Indigenous cultures and experiences." --Journal of Cultural Geography
