Living in the Tall Grass: Poems of Reconciliation

"The poetry of Chief Stacey Laforme illustrates the wonderful state of being alive. With clear-eyed focus, rooted in the reality of daily living and guided by the grandfathers' teachings, he encourages us to appreciate the journey. His words compel us to improve our capacity to listen, to understand and learn to live together. It is a generous gift from one who cares deeply and looks for good in the world." -- Hon. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, 
Lieutenant Governor of Ontario "These words are like wild flowers-- -- ideas and beauty growing in places where people said it could never happen. Chief Laforme has turned dirt into heart; fertile, affecting, alive." -- Ron MacLean, Hockey Broadcaster "All peoples learn from authentically written expressions about not only our struggles but hope and vision. Chief Stacey Laforme has eloquently written pieces which invoke our emotion and inspire reflection and change." -- Chief Perry Bellegarde, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations "Honest voices carry life and Chief LaForme's 
poems help us emerge from the half life our country has lived as we finally, finally begin the conversations with Indigenous peoples about how we will share the land at the top end of North America. "I Love This Land" moved me deeply and its voice still rings in my heart. ---- R H Thomson, Actor and Producer of The World Remembers.
