"An Indigenous journey from the head to the heart to the spirit. This book makes a significant contribution." Kathleen E. Absolon, author of "K""aandossiwin: How We Come To Know." In "The Knowledge Seeker, " Blair Stonechild shares his own sixty-year journey of learning--from residential school to PhD and beyond--looking all the while to find a place for Indigenous spirituality in the classroom. Encouraged by an Elder who insisted sacred information be written down, Stonechild explores the underlying philosophy of his people's teachings to demonstrate that Indigenous spirituality can speak to our urgent, contemporary concerns. "Stonechild was at the forefront of developing Indigenous education programs throughout Canada. This seminal, experiential work is not only about his personal journey, but also his culmination of years of experience with his own Cree culture and spirituality.

An essential and courageous book." Brian Rice, author of "The Rotinonshonni" and "Seeing the World with Aboriginal Eyes".
