AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'We turn off the highway onto the dirt road, my body tense and waiting. All the rain has ruined the grading in places, but the small ruts are nothing compared to how it used to look when we were kids. Now we bring our kids, to show them how we were shown. But not all. None of us can look at the empty seat.' (Publication abstract) 

Notes

  • Author's note: This piece was written with the permission of my sister and mother, though neither wants to read it. Our grief flows through us, always. Any errors are mine. I need to let my family and community members and other First Nations peoples know: please do not read if you are struggling with loss or are unable to read about those who’ve passed. With love and respect, Lee
