First sentence: The reason for the urgent need for First Nations histories penned by First Nations authors was articulated to me by Chuck LeCain, a retired high-school history teacher of thirty-one years: "'Until the lion has his historian, the hunter will always be the hero' (unknown author). For more than a decade you have been the lion's historian. Take pride in knowing that you have assisted countless others, not only to review, but to re-think history. I gained greatly from your writings. Wela'lin!"
