“They want this resource for themselves. They're blaming us for the low salmon runs. But we're not the ones overfishing. We've always caught what we needed. Some years are better than others, but we respect the cycle. We did not create this mess. You see over there? They are allowed to catch more than us because the government said they could. And further out, in the ocean, they can catch even more.”
Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm

“But just because stories are unwritten for a time, it doesn’t mean they’ll be unwritten forever. And just because stories don’t get written down, it doesn’t mean they’re ever lost. We carry them in our minds, our hearts, our very bones. We honour them by passing them on, letting them live on in others, too. — foreword by Alicia Elliott”
Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, This Place: 150 Years Retold

“You aren’t taking any more of our children.”
Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, This Place: 150 Years Retold
