Elmer Ghostkeeper provides a new path through a traditional Metis worldview to holistic wellness. Spirit Gifting contrasts this traditional worldview with Western Scientific knowledge to provide a model of self-discovery and individual revitalization. This first person narrative describes Ghostkeeper’s early family life working with the land and with life. It goes on to describe the dilemmas of harvesting resources with the message that in our rush to support progress with machines and ever more power, we have lost our respect for the earth and living things. Spirit Gifting suggests we look at what we’ve lost, honour life and nature and all the gifts they provide, and quietly bring that respect back into our lives.
