As the narrative unfolds, however, Trevor Herriot, the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eGrass, Sky, Song\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRiver in a Dry Land\u003c\/i\u003e, finds himself recruited into the work of reconciliation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFacing his own responsibility as a descendent of settlers, he connects today's ecological disarray to the legacy of Metis dispossession and the loss of their community lands. With Indigenous and settler people alienated from one another and from the grassland itself, hope and courage are in short supply. This book offers both by proposing an atonement that could again bring people and prairie together.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrevor Herriot is an award-winning author and a naturalist.
