The book Stoney Creek Woman written by Bridget Moran tells the story of Mary John an Elder from my reservation. The book details Mary John’s life and provides readers with a mirror into the life of a Native woman living in rural northern British Columbia. Mary John was awarded the Order of Canada in 1997 and after reading the book people will understand why. I also enjoy reading the book as my grandmother is mentioned in it.
