For some M騁is, it is a historical continuation of the relationships their ancestral communities have had with ceremonies since time immemorial, and for others, it is a homecoming--a return to ceremony after some time away.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFiola employs a M騁is-specific and community-centred methodology to gather evidence from archives, priests' correspondence, oral history, storytelling, and literature. With assistance from six M騁is community researchers, Fiola listened to stories and experiences shared by thirty-two M騁is from six Manitoba M騁is communities that are at the heart of this book. They offer insight into their families' relationships with land, community, culture, and religion, including factors that inhibit or nurture connection to ceremonies such as sweat lodge, Sundance, and the Midewiwin. Valuable profiles emerge for six historic Red River M騁is communities (Duck Bay, Camperville, St Laurent, St Fran輟is-Xavier, Ste Anne, and Lorette), providing a clearer understanding of identity, culture, and spirituality that uphold M騁is Nation sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chantal Fiola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 088755962X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887559624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Manitoba Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.74d","brand":"Chantal Fiola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044809896191,"sku":"9780887559624","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a098d271-438b-441b-accf-e666dc70a7d8.jpg?v=1684975021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/returning-to-ceremony-chantal-fiola-9780887559624","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
