If you are interested in Indigenous affairs, the history of how the eastern tribes came to be in such dire straits today, and how literature has reflected these changes - and even attempts to embrace and effect change for the better - then The Homing Place will certainly appeal to you. It has found a permanent place on my Reference shelf alongside other key Indigenous titles such as Chris Benjamin's Indian School Road and John Tattrie's Daniel Paul, Mi'kmaq Elder.

The Homing Place was shortlisted for both an Atlantic Book Award (for Scholarly Writing) and a New Brunswick Book Award (Writers’ Federation of New Brunswick Book Award for Non-Fiction), both nominations were well deserved in my opinion.
