The deposit will be taken as soon as we receive your order, and will be applied to the final cost of the book once it arrives.

WHAT IS A PRINT ON DEMAND BOOK?

A Print On Demand (POD) book is, as the name implies, printed by the publisher on demand, meaning the books are made to order for the customer.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Due to the nature of POD books, they are non-returnable to the publisher. Therefore we require a non-refundable deposit in the amount of 50% of the cost of the book before we submit the order to the publisher. This deposit is then applied toward the final cost of the book once it arrives. All Print On Demand books are final sale.

We should also note that due to the nature of print on demand titles, the quality of the book can differ from that of a regular book, in that sometimes in the event of older material it can appear like a scan or photocopy, or occasionally have an unappealing design, layout, or typeface.

Once the POD book is ordered it typically takes about 2-3 weeks to receive your copy at the store, at which point we would charge your credit card for the balance owing (minus the deposit already charged) and, depending on which option you chose at checkout, contact you regarding shipping or to let you know the order is ready for pick-up.

By adding a Print On Demand title to your cart and completing the checkout process, you agree to our terms and conditions.

If you have any questions about Print On Demand books, please contact your nearest McNally Robinson bookstore.

*Note: These terms and conditions do not apply to Print-On-Demand titles that are currently in stock at one of our bookstores.

Description

This is a very personal journey for me and so many others. My Metis heritage and culture was stolen from me, I spend half my life not knowing who I was. I was filled with so much anger and a total loss of identity . The stigma of shame runs deep like a river and if not stopped will fill up an ocean called the future. For half of my life I was culture and heritage void. I lost out on so much, I was a Metis person hiding in plain sight and did not know it. This book for me is an attempt to exorcise shame and to regain my lost identity. We must embrace who we are and where we come from and preserve our heritage for the future generations. The Metis River of Shame must be dammed up so our children can truly embrace who they are. We are Metis Proud and Strong.
