An unflinching memoir of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds of sexual assault from a resilient, emerging Indigenous voice.

Helen Knott, a highly accomplished Indigenous woman, seems to have it all. But in her memoir, she offers a different perspective. In My Own Moccasins is an unflinching account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. It is also the story of sisterhood, the power of ceremony, the love of family, and the possibility of redemption.

With gripping moments of withdrawal, times of spiritual awareness, and historical insights going back to the signing of Treaty 8 by her great-great grandfather, Chief Bigfoot, Helen's journey exposes the legacy of colonialism, while reclaiming her spirit.

"This must have been such a difficult memoir to write. As a white person, I read this to better understand the viewpoint of an Indigenous woman, and I think that it is very important that more white people do this. I won’t say that it was good or bad since I think that misses the point, but it is definitely something that people should read."

"Authored by a Canadian Native’s living experience, growing up on a reservation and lacking resources considered normal… More disturbingly, addiction and abuse that was considered everyday occurrences. I found this read disturbingly sad."
