"I am in awe of you Lynda, your inner gentleness, perceptiveness and empathy to all those of Curve Lake First Nation and beyond, for understanding their inflicted pain, discrimination and brutal suffering, and yet through their arts, crafts, and poetry, the Indigenous people have regained their culture, their history, and traditions. You brought them back from extinction with your ability to portray their stories, even the ones that made me cry. The friendship you have made with these people will surround you with much love in the years to come because this story is not yet over. I highly recommend this book"

“This Is My Story,” by Lynda Taneda Dickinson, Is a MUST READ.
It inspired me to pick up a paint brush and paint- capturing the soul and spirit (of each artist), with each brushstroke.

"Dickinson's book shows struggles, resilience, and a multitude of different successes of Indigenous people from a lens outside the culture."
