      I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Younging, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, at a conference. He speaks and writes with understanding, experience, and wisdom. His unique experience as publisher and professor makes this book a must read for all authors, editors, and publishers. It will be a reference I return to both to inform my own work and as I work with authors' work. Also an effective guide to help identify and correct colonial ideology that seeps into our Canadian publishing world and our own lives.
