Because the Spirit was There: Windows into First Nations Communities - Paperback

by Belma D. Vardy (Author)

In Belma Vardy's new book- Because the Spirit was There! Windows into First Nations Communities, she shows herself to be fully qualified and highly skilled to capture accurately and sensitively the personal and true stories of so many and the historical tragedies that befell First Nations peoples from the residential schools catastrophe to misguided plans of governments that became the roots of great trauma inflicted upon the precious Indigenous peoples of Canada. Yet, despite all these tragedies, she also captures how the Holy Spirit is still welcome and doing great exploits among them. Chief Kenny Blacksmith says "The stories of these individuals deliver hope, healing, and freedom to our First Nation people as Belma has captured their stories and experiences like windows into our First Nation communities and people giving life and meaning to the true identity of who we are in God."
