As someone who has heard both Ray and Matthew speak on Indigenous-Settler relationships and on Canadians' need to heal their relationship to the Land many times over the years, I am so happy to see this book in print. It contains material from many of their talks, along with freshly written material after the recovery of the residential "school" children's graves, woven into an organic dialogue, alternating one chapter by Ray and one by Matthew throughout. Although it is particularly written for Christians and makes references to theology and biblical texts, this is not done in such a way as to be off-putting to other readers at all. Ray's and Matthew's Christian contexts (one Cree, one Settler) do not overpower their knowledgeable, at times poetic, and at times funny writing about Treaty, about the role of literally walking one's Treaty Lands, about the vast distance remaining between here and reconciliation, about taking small steps to begin. Ray and Matthew have provided a gentle, witty, and enlightening beginner's guide to walking well in Treaty together.
