This resource responds to an urgent need for resources to assist student leaders and ministers serving reserve and inner city Aboriginal communities". ... Two storybuilding workshops were held at the Dr. Jessie Saulteaux Centre in Beausejour, Manitoba in November 1991. .... Following the workshops, a draft of stories and art was circulated to both circles. Consultations with Sandy Scott of the United Church, Stewart Folster of the Presbyterian Church as well as Rev. Phyllis Keeper, Mina Stevenson, Elder Gladys Cook and the Ven. Patrick Lee of the Diocese of Rupert's Land assisted the process. Dr. Janet Silman, Biblical Studies Staff at the Jessie Saulteaux Resource Centre, and Elder Stan McKay contributed biblical understandings. Rev. Evelyn Broadfoot and Verna McKay were final readers". -- Editorial.
