Resistance & Resilience: New Book Shares First-Person Indigenous Stories

How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America is available today!

This latest addition to the Voice of Witness book series shares contemporary first-person narratives in the long and ongoing fight to protect Native land, rights, and life.

Launching in advance of Indigenous Peoples Day, How We Go Home amplifies powerful personal stories from narrators that articulate the day-to-day realities of living with settler colonialism. Their varied experiences are shaped by struggle, injustice, and loss, as well as resilience, resistance, and community.

Edited by oral historian Sara Sinclair (of Cree-Ojibwe and settler descent), this book provides deep historical context for understanding present-day Indigenous experiences and the intergenerational impacts of over five hundred years of colonization in North America.

About Voice of Witness

Voice of Witness (VOW) is an award-winning nonprofit that advances human rights by amplifying the voices of people impacted by—and fighting against— injustice. VOW explores issues of race-, gender-, and class-based inequity through the lenses of migration, displacement, and the criminal justice system. The VOW Book Series depicts human rights issues through the edited oral histories of people—VOW narrators—who are most deeply impacted and are often at the heart of solutions to address injustice. The VOW Education Program connects over 20,000 educators, students, and advocates each year with these stories and issues through oral history-based curricula, trainings, and holistic educational support.
