Product Description
by Joan Young (Author)
In the Cathedral of the Plains is a collection of stories of individuals-Indigenous and non-Indigenous-who meet and became dear friends. The chronicled events occur mainly in the 1950s and 60s, but the author also shares personal memories of interactions with the people as time moved on. The reader is not only taken on a journey through Blackfoot Country in southern Alberta-and along the eastern slopes on the Rockies-but into the heart of the new territory of 'Reconciliation' and building a better world. Unconscious prejudices and erroneous understandings of history become exposed, and the author's learning journey deepens into profound love, with a heightened sense of the 'Sacred', as it can be experienced under the wide-open skies of the plains.
