This is myth\, legend\, theology and philosophy. It is t he essential teaching for our time.”\n-Elizabeth May\, O.C.\, M.P \n“I was lost before I was born”: the starting point of Pacheedaht Elder Bil l Jones’ lifelong journey of decolonization. “You were all Indigenous once”: the starting point for ending a world based on exploitation and g reed. \nAt Port Renfrew\, British Columbia\, in 2020\, both settlers and F irst Nations experienced a re-indigenization and became reacquainted with our Great Mother during the fight to save some of the last remaining old g rowth forest at the Fairy Creek Blockades. As Elder Bill sat in a tent dur ing a West Coast storm at the height of the protests\, he experienced the final phase of his personal decolonization\, his absolute re-indigenizatio n\, when he realized: “I know what happened!”\, a revelation that has informed his life ever since. \nCombining the story of Elder Bill’s pers onal life and ancestors\, elder wisdom\, settler feminism\, and the inspir ational story of the Fairy Creek Blockades — the largest act of civil di sobedience in Canada — Listening Once Again to Our Great Mother is wisdo m weaving to motivate those towards their own self-awakening\, even after Elder Bill is gone.
