DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn honest look at life in an Indian residential school in the 1950s, and how one indomitable young spirit survived it — 30th anniversary edition. Seepeetza loves living on Joyaska Ranch with her family. But when she is six years old, she is driven to the town of Kalamak, in the interior of British Columbia. Seepeetza will spend the next several years of her life at an Indian residential school. The nuns call her Martha and cut her hair. Worst of all, she is forbidden to “talk Indian,” even with her sisters and cousins. Still, Seepeetza looks for bright spots — the cookie she receives at Halloween, the dance practices. Most of all, there are her memories of holidays back at the ranch — camping trips, horseback riding, picking berries and cleaning fish with her mother, aunt and grandmother. Always, thoughts of home make school life bearable. Based on her own experiences at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, this powerful novel by Nlaka’pamux author Shirley Sterling is a moving account of one of the most blatant expressions of racism in the history of Canada.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is about choices, focus, survival and how our American based cultural belief systems sometimes “shortcut” our decision making processes. We all have belief systems. They are neither good nor bad. It is the additional information we choose to either include or not include in our decisions that determine the outcome. Our belief system is not limited to religious or spiritual aspects, but include every decision we make about every task we do on a daily basis. What foods we eat, what we watch, read, listen, our friends, our employers; it is an endless list. Without additional information, everything we believe in will produce an expected, less desirable outcome. With additional information, we will make better decisions with a more predictable, desirable outcome. In this book I share some of my experiences and how I struggled to understand the importance of how to effectively use information. For me, it is the person Jack Mulder that goes overboard at night in the Pacific Ocean and transforms into the person, “Captain Jack”. Just a “moment” passes from the time I leave the sailboat until I hit the water. It was that “moment” of understanding along with my beliefs that would determine the outcome.
