This is also an announcement about two upcoming Circle of All Nations outputs:
1.Learning from a Kindergarten Dropout, Books One and Two (first published in 2005 and 2007) and our kayaking reflections book, Passionate Waters Butterfly Kisses (2008), all originally published while Grandfather was alive, soon to be available internationally via Kindle; these will be followed shortly by Learning from a Kindergarten Dropout Books Three and Four, comprising reports completed during the last years of his life and immediately after. This series will ensure that there is a comprehensive understanding for the public at large as well as for academics of his most significant contributions to the grown public consciousness of Indigenous realities and his passionate and inspirational peace and environmental work in Canada and beyond.
