"A synthesis of memoir, oral history and auto-ethnography, Ruby Peter's story is a powerful testament to the persistence of Indigenous life on Canada's West Coast." -- Wendy Wickwire, Author of At the Bridge: James Teit and an Anthropology of Belonging
"As I read What was Said to Me I felt like I was sitting with my grandmother when she too shared stories, teachings, culture and tradition. Such a beautiful reflection of Ruby's vision: a legacy that guides and directs her family." -- Robina ThomasExecutive Director, Indigenous Academic and Community Engagement, University of Victoria
