Review of Mapping My Way Home: A Gitxsan History

from Louise Mandell

Mapping My Way Home is a great title for this provocative book. Home is the Gitxsan people’s territory along the Skeena and Nass rivers, which Sterritt knows intimately and loves. Home is also the story of his personal journey to find his ancestral roots, a journey that led him to help create the maps the Gitxsan used to reclaim their heritage.

Louise Mandell, one of Canada’s foremost aboriginal rights lawyers, was one of the legal counsels for the Gitxsan and Wet’suwet’en in Delgamuukw v. BC and is currently chancellor of Vancouver Island University.
