The author describes the advent of evangelization in the Upper-Mauricie region of Quebec and the detrimental effect it had on the Atikamekw people. During residential school he believed he too would become a missionary. However, with the advent of the late 1960s, the “pseudo-intellectuals,” John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and his discovery of the American Indian Movement, he found a way to “relearn”; and through the Elders’ teachings, to reconnect with traditional education and with “the great Atikamekw Nation.”
