NATIVE-IMMIGRANT: A personal journey into our home and native land tells the story of discovering that, as an immigrant, I have much more in common with First Nations. Immigrants are the Last Nations; together, we are the ongoing human flow of the displaced, the multicultural offspring of colonization.
My journey is a memoir, but it’s also a proposition: let’s see where we are exactly, with a different set of eyes. I have woven my story around questions from ongoing conversations with my friend, Ateronhiatakon (Francis) Boots, War Chief of the Mohawk People.
What does it mean to re-root in a new homeland? Are you a people if you can't explain the cosmos? What do Native peoples want? Who are my people after all, and how can I find them? In the search for answers, I hope to shed light on who we can be as a nation.
