The “Winds of Change” is a series of watercolour paintings by Daniel Elliott – a Stz’uminus Elder who is a healer and teacher in First Nations communities. The paintings depict the beauty and power of Indigenous culture and community, along with the ongoing trauma of colonization. This book includes all the paintings in the series, along with Elliott’s own story, and his powerful insights on the path of truth and reconciliation.

In the introduction to Truth, Art and Reconciliation, Caffyn Jesse describes this book as “both challenging and comforting.” She says, “This book asks us to understand many dimensions of Indigenous trauma. It invites us to feel our own – and each other’s – traumas more intimately. It also opens new possibilities for healing, alternate ways of seeing, and transformative well-being.”
