They constitute an autobiography of great personal authority and rare authenticity.

Born in 1912, Alice Ahenakew was brought up in a traditional Cree community in Saskatchewan. As a young woman, she married Andrew Ahenakew, a member of a prominent Saskatchewan family, who later became an Anglican clergyman.
