Metaphorical Reflections on the Colonial Circus of the Drunken Indian and the Kidney Machine
This paper represents the need for First Nations community workers to share their narratives of experience and wisdom for academic review.

Gordon was invited to attend my Aboriginal Spirituality class at the University of Toronto in September 2009. He liked being there so much that he came each week, sitting through lectures, reading the materials, and participating with unerr…
