Publisher's summary

In an era in which "resistance" has become tokenized, popular Indigenous author Kaitlin Curtice reclaims it as a basic human calling. Resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors' holistic flourishing. We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together.

Curtice shows that we can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors. She explores four "realms of resistance"—the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral—and shows how these realms overlap and why all are needed for our liberation. Listeners will be empowered to seek wholeness in whatever spheres of influence they inhabit.

This was so authentic.

Just finished! Thank you so much. This book hit my heart. Filled with references from authors and books I cherish, and others I paused to immediately put on my list (including “Native” by this author).

(For clarity, I am a currently able bodied, neurodivergent, white middle class woman, with poor evangelical Christian roots. I am a non-Zionist Jewish Convert, and raise 3 daughters on Potowami land north of Waawiiyaatanog (so called Detroit). )

Phew, so many things to say about this incredible book. Kaitlin B Curtice shows vulnerability and leads by example through her stories and thoughts. I appreciated and related to many of the struggles she is experiencing and am grateful to learn from others. I’ve been struggling with connecting my body and mind and what that looks like in the context of anti-racist, anti-colonial work (internally and externally). With each chapter, I feel more connected and healed. Things I have learned prior to this book and “understand” logically, are now clicking more in my body. I feel like I have more confidence and trust in myself that I will show up in an embodied and empathetic way in my resistance, after reading this. So so grateful to the author. 🙏🙏

I am getting a physical copy for sure to come back to a take notes. ✍️

A reflective call to self for action

This book is a gentle necessary call for re educating ourselves of our true origins.

Inspiring

It’s easy to get discouraged but Curtice encourages us to find resistance and embodiment in our own way, ultimately by living your truth and living through your soul/essence is the best way to resist. She speaks to the importance of integrating all realms as a way of resistance.

A book to crack our shells

I listened to this book twice so far and bought the book so I can"mark it up" as the author said. I am an elder, yet I feel that this read has taken me back to a younger self that has so many open wounds. But by caring for and looking at the wounds, only then could they heal. May it do the same for you.

I will buy this book!

I love the way the author gives us practices to do after each chapter to help us move towards decolonization. She is a wonderful reader as well!

How is she always this good?!

"For us to be fully alive, we must be present, and when we are, we resist hate in ourselves and in the world around us." This is one of 25 post it notes I have on my desk with quotes from Living Resistance. Kaitlin's writing is full of gentle and hard earned wisdom that invites the reader to be fully present in both the suffering and joy in our lives and the world around us. She has a gift for addressing the issues we face while modeling the kind of loving openness needed for real change to happen. This is a book we need to keep us grounded while also moving toward healing and liberation for all living things.

This book felt like church

This book made me feel like I was coming home to a wise and welcoming sage. I felt loved, challenged and inspired. I’ll return to this book when I need to bathe myself in ways of my ancestors again and again.
