520    A Two-Spirit Journey is Ma-Nee Chacaby's account of her 
       life as an Ojibwa-Cree lesbian. From her early, often 
       harrowing memories of life and abuse in a remote Ojibwa 
       community riven by poverty and alcoholism, Chacaby's story
       is one of enduring and ultimately overcoming the social, 
       economic, and health legacies of colonialism. As a child, 
       Chacaby learned spiritual and cultural traditions from her
       Cree grandmother and trapping, hunting, and bush survival 
       skills from her Ojibwa stepfather. She also suffered 
       physical and sexual abuse by different adults, and in her 
       teen years became alcoholic herself. At twenty, Chacaby 
       moved to Thunder Bay with her children to escape an 
       abusive marriage. Abuse, compounded by racism, continued, 
       but Chacaby found supports to help herself and others. 
       Over the following decades, she achieved sobriety; trained
       and worked as an alcoholism counsellor; raised her 
       children and fostered many others; learned to live with 
       visual impairment; and came out as a lesbian. In 2013, 
       Chacaby led the first gay pride parade in Thunder Bay. Ma-
       Nee Chacaby has emerged from hardship grounded in faith, 
       compassion, humour, and resilience. Her memoir provides 
       unprecedented insights into the challenges still faced by 
       many Indigenous people
