Praise for Memory Serves:

“Lee Maracle has provided a clear and eloquent voice of power that speaks of, speaks to and speaks with Indigenous peoples and indigenous women around the world. Her writing always provokes, awakens, stirs and enlightens our hearts and minds.”
~ Linda Tuhiwai Smith, author of Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples

“[a]t this fertile moment for change in the relationship between Canada’s indigenous and nonindigenous peoples, Lee Maracle’s new collection of oratories … takes on even greater significance.”
~ Brian Lynch, The Georgia Straight

“The topics she covers, the approaches she employs, and the strength of her language highlight the reasons the author has been a driving force in Canadian aboriginal culture for decades. Memory Serves adds to the vital canon of Canadian aboriginal literature.”
~ Alexis Kienlen, Quill & Quire

“Memory Serves is one of Maracle’s greatest books. It is a read that imparts wisdom from a great writer and it will leave you feeling empowered knowing that the wisdom of Maracle’s words are being shared with you.”
~ Christine Smith (McFarlane), rabble.ca

“[Memory Serves] serves by writing down Indigenous “storying up” of events, and by providing Indigenous peoples with arguments for “rematriation” and Canadians with considerable insight into another way of being and creating. The book also richly serves scholars interested in memory; ecological thought; colonization and de-colonization; resilience and reconciliation; the interface between orature and writing; and Stó:lō philosophy and culture, especially the verbal arts.”
~ Susan Gingell, Canadian Literature

“Memory Serves is a gift to all Canadians. I urge you to unwrap it slowly and get ready for something unlike anything else.”
~ Manjeet Birk, Herizons
