Autorenporträt
Having taught Indigenous studies for eighteen years, Mary Jane Joe retired thinking her work in bridging gaps between multi-cultures was done. However, Langara College invited Mary Jane, Nk'xetko, to serve as Elder-in-Residence to bring the best of Ya-yeh's teachings and blessings to faculty, staff and students on a continual basis. Book Two outlines the path taken to find peace and wholeness by returning to the High Chief and finding restoration in studying scriptures.
