It explores how learned patterns of behavior — the ways people adapt to trauma to survive — are passed down within family systems, thereby affecting the functioning of entire communities. The book foregrounds Indigenous resilience through song lyrics and as-told-to stories by young people who have started their own journeys of decolonization, healing, and change. It also details the transformative work being done in urban and on-reserve communities through community-led projects and Indigenous-run institutions and community agencies. These stories offer concrete examples of the ways in which Indigenous peoples and communities are capable of healing in small and big ways — and they challenge readers to consider what the dominant society must do to create systemic change. Full of bold graphics and illustration, \u003ci\u003eKilling the Wittigo \u003c\/i\u003eis a much-needed resource for Indigenous kids and the people who love them and work with them.","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48683273027813,"sku":"NP9781770417243","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_f5c89be3-461f-4f33-a9b9-a8b7bd27dc11.jpg?v=1775169455","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/killing-the-wittigo-isbn-9781770417243","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
