Book excerpt: After living in the city for forty years, Mohawk writer Brian Maracle moved back to the Six Nations Grand River Territory. This is the vivid chronicle of his first year back on the rez, a community where your water comes from a well, heat from a woodstove, and food from a garden. Where family, friends, and casual acquaintances show up unannounced. It also looks into the deeply divided community where groups of traditionalists struggle to revitalize the longhouse religion and reclaim values. Where there are power brokers, cigarette hustlers, corruption and incompetence in the government-imposed band council.
