Stoney Creek Woman – The Story of Mary John –

“Stoney Creek Woman is the extraordinary story of Mary John, a Native mother of twelve and member of the Carrier Band living on the Stoney Creek reserve in central British Columbia.
As told to Bridget Moran, Mary John recounts the hardships endured by her people – racism, sickness, poverty – and her personal struggle to rise above not only these indignities, but those she faced as an independent, strong-willed Native woman. Hers is an inspring story of personal and cultural survival. In 1997, she was awarded the Order of Canada.”
