The Work of Our Hands : A Cree Meditation on the Real World. by Sutherland, Adrian.;
Life is hard in Attawapiskat. So why does Juno-nominated Cree musician Adrian Sutherland live there? In 'The Work of Our Hands', Sutherland explores his world through the concrete experience of his hands, as they hold a guitar, a hammer, a rifle, or a cannister used to carry water to his family home, and the materials from which the traditional Cree sweat lodge is constructed, Sutherland not only paints a portrait of a world few of us have ever seen, he also lays out the way the world itself can teach us right and wrong as clearly as we can detect a musical note that is off-key. Sutherland is the driving force behind the Indigenous musical group Midnight Shine. He is based in Attawapiskat on the remote coast of James Bay, ON.Library Bound Incorporated
