One Native Life is a look back down the road Richard Wagamese has traveled—from childhood abuse to adult alcoholism—in reclaiming his identity. It’s about what he has learned as a human being, a man, and an Ojibway in his fifty-two years on Earth.
Whether he’s writing about playing baseball, running away with the circus, making bannock, or attending a sacred bundle ceremony, these are stories told in a healing spirit. Through them, Wagamese shows listeners how to appreciate life for the journey it is.
Richard Wagamese was one of Canada’s foremost First Nations authors and storytellers. He was the author of thirteen books including Indian Horse, the People’s Choice winner in the Canada Reads competition. He held Honorary Doctor of Letters degrees from Thompson Rivers University and Lakehead University. He lived in Kamloops, BC.
Christian Baskous is an AudioFile Earphones Award–winning narrator. His theatrical credits include numerous roles in the New York Shakespeare Festival, Circle in the Square, the Kennedy Center, and Theater for the New City, as well as other regional theaters. His film and television work includes appearances in Glory, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Law & Order, Swan’s Crossing, and Swift Justice.
Reviews
“[Wagamese’s] memoir is an insightful look at his search for his roots and the traditions binding him not only to his people but the ‘great, grand circle’ of humanity.”
