Five hundred years of colonization have taken an incalculable toll on the Indigenous peoples of the Americas: substance-use disorders and shockingly high rates of depression, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions brought on by genocide and colonial control. With passionate logic and chillingly clear prose, author and educator Suzanne Methot uses history, human development, and her own and others’ stories to trace the roots of Indigenous cultural dislocation and community breakdown in an original and provocative examination of the long-term effects of colonization. But all is not lost. Methot also shows how we can come back from this with Indigenous ways of knowing lighting the way.

Critic reviews

“Powerful . . . A deeply empathetic and inspiring work with insights of value to anyone struggling to overcome personal or communal trauma.” (Library Journal)

“Legacy is a book that is sure to be found on classroom syllabuses in years to come. It offers Indigenous readers testimony and some tools, and provides non-Indigenous readers depth of scope for understanding the relationships that exist between Indigenous peoples, their nations, and Canada.” (Quill & Quire)

“An important addition to the Indigenous library shelf.” (Booklist)

The relatability; the ease of listening and understanding what she was speaking about; and the ideas given for how to indigenize our local communities and beyond, were exactly what I needed. Spirit led me to this title and I know why. What a bit of medicine, this book was.

Blown away

This was not easy to listen to, only due to listening to my story as an indigenous person of Alaska. Everything she speaks of is my story as well. Very hard truth to swallow but I am grateful for my truth coming to the surface and the knowledge I need to help me in my healing journey!

My story!
