Ma-Nee Chacaby is a Two-Spirit, Ojibwa/Cree Elder. She was raised by her Cree grandmother in a remote Ojibwa community near Lake Nipigon, Ontario.
Mary Louisa Plummer is a social scientist and a long-time friend of Ma-Nee. Much of her professional work has focused on public health and children's rights.
"A Two-Spirit Journey is a raw and emotional story that doesn't
just show readers the author's scars. Chacaby bares all in an
honest telling of her life that includes flaws, like her struggles
with substance abuse and a sometimes rocky path to sobriety.
Despite the turmoil, the autobiography does have its uplifting
moments and characters. Heartwarming stories of childhood
friendships, and most importantly a powerful relationship between
the author and her grandmother, weave feelings of optimism and hope
into a life that is oftentimes surrounded by darkness."--Scott

"Activist, survivor, mother, counsellor, Ma-Nee Chacaby recounts
her sometimes harrowing life with a calm and steady voice, infused

appeal to both the general public and those engaged in Indigenous
studies, A Two-Spirit Journey presents an important story,
powerfully told."--Nik Burton, Rick Walker, and Carolyn Wood,
