Playing With a Great Heart

Kihcite Metawewina: Playing with a Great Heart is not only a compilation of traditional and contemporary Indigenous games and activities played on Turtle Island. It is an invitation into Blair’s classroom and into the circle where Indigenous philosophies and teachings are taught with the hope of restoring the original intent of play.
