As Leanne Betasamosake Simpson explained, “Helen Knott speaks truth to the experience of Indigenous women living through the violence of colonized spaces and she does so with grace, beauty and a ferocity that makes me feel so proud.” Knott is now amongst some of the most widely read Indigenous voices in the country, and has earned praise from Eden Robinson, Richard Van Camp and Carol Daniels, to name a few. A national bestseller, Knott's memoir continues to receive accolades since its recent publication, most recently a 2020 Saskatchewan Book Award. It is also the story of sisterhood, the power of ceremony, the love of family, and the possibility of redemption. In My Own Moccasins is an unflinching account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence.
