It explores how learned patterns of behavior -- the ways people adapt to trauma to survive -- are passed down within family systems, thereby affecting the functioning of entire communities. The book foregrounds Indigenous resilience through song lyrics and as-told-to stories by young people who have started their own journeys of decolonization, healing, and change. It also details the transformative work being done in urban and on-reserve communities through community-led projects and Indigenous-run institutions and community agencies. These stories offer concrete examples of the ways in which Indigenous peoples and communities are capable of healing in small and big ways -- and they challenge readers to consider what the dominant society must do to create systemic change. Full of bold graphics and illustration, \u003ci\u003eKilling the Wittigo \u003c\/i\u003eis a much-needed resource for Indigenous kids and the people who love them and work with them.","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45129996501143,"sku":"9781770417243","price":1720.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781770417243.webp?v=1768555208","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/killing-the-wittigo-indigenous-culture-based-approaches-to-waking-up-taking-action-and-doing-the-work-of-healing-9781770417243","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
