"The stories contained in The Sweet Bloods of Eeyou Istchee: Stories of Diabetes and the James Bay Cree are incredible. They are life lessons, they are tales of warning, they are songs of resilience, they are prayers for a healthier life. Each one is its own entity, and each storyteller bravely and beautifully speaks out so that we may all begin our own healing journey. This is a must-read book. I've not seen something quite like it before."Joseph Boyden
"This is an important book. In this time, when our Cree communities and other indigenous groups are facing down a brutal and pervasive diabetes epidemic, Sweet Bloods offers a Talking Circle in print: frank, funny, and emotional stories of James Bay Cree people living with the disease. What makes this book special is that we know these storytellers and their stories are our stories. We recognize the effects of colonization in bodies, families and communities – and we see that the insights and love and laughter of these storytellers are stronger. We thank them for the courage to say what most of us will not say. Once you start this book, you'll want to read to the end."Bella M. Petawabano, former Chairperson, Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay
"A useful read for anyone interested in learning about contemporary life in Eeyou Istchee. Here are the stories of 26 people currently living there. Their lives all were impacted by the James Bay Hydroelectric project, residential schools, and the closing of HBC posts in the region. They have all experienced a dramatic social and cultural transformation. We would do well to be aware of it and acknowledge it. [...]"Goodreads user TimothyH
