商品簡介
Seven Sacred Truths explores the perspective of an Indigenous Woman on a continuous journey of healing from trauma. Seeing the world through “brown” eyes, John-Kehewin makes new meaning of the past, present, and the future, creating a process of healing and transformation. Through a consideration of Love, Wisdom, Truth, Honesty, Respect, Humility, and Courage, a new meaning arises from the written word, and can be shared with others who have lived trauma, or who want insight into another person’s trauma. The book hopes to create a safe space to view things from another perspective and invites others on their healing journey. The closer you are to the truth, the more free you become.

She uses writing as a therapeutic medium to understanding and responding to the near decimation of First Nations culture, language, and tradition.

She has been a part of World Poetry and their radio show as a co-host on Co-op Radio and performed at numerous readings throughout the Lower Mainland. Her work is raw and her honesty is a reflection of the amount of suffering the ancestors of the past have endured. She gives her mother a voice who was never heard, but who now has a voice. She credits her children as the vehicle to healing and wanting to understand colonization and its effects. Her first book of poetry, In The Dog House, was published by Talonbooks in 2013.
