Drawing on his own family history, Cornelius sets out the history of the Oneida Nation of the Thames, explores the process of language loss, and tells the story of the concerted and on-going effort to revitalize the language today. [...] Thank you to Bonnie Bressette and the family of Neil Cornelius for the historical photographs in chapters 1 and 2, to the Indigenous Education Coalition for the photographs of Nmaachina in chapter 7, and to Summer Bressette for the cover photograph and foreword where she explains the importance of the basket. [...] She said, “We didn’t have a teacher for the winter most of the time and we went to school in the summer.” She also remembers that many of the teachers “were not good teachers.” The abusive and authoritarian attitude of many educators in day schools was reminiscent of the residential school era. [...] Of her involvement in the creation of the elementary school in Kettle Point she has said that much of the work was done by the Education Committee and this shows how the community has taken an active role in the education of their children. [...] Remembrance is the internalization of the collective will of the People to manifest a “good life” for all; resurgence is the action that is carried out to achieve the collective will.
