Cover of Becoming Kin by Patty Krawec, a remarkably accessible book that ties our history with our future. A candid yet compelling clarion call.

I had the great pleasure of speaking with author Patty Krawec about how she came to accidentally write one of the most important books of our time, Becoming Kin — An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future.
