Jennifer Dance provides a few good ways to keep your eco-footprint light as a white feather. Plus a treat afterwards.

My husband and I migrated to Canada in 1979. We were a young bi-racial couple, searching for a place where our children could achieve their full potential regardless of skin colour. But my husband died shortly after arriving in Canada, and suddenly I was alone in a new country with two pre-schoolers and a third child on the way. It was then that I learned about the Indian Residential School System, and the Indian Act that enabled it.

I interview Jennifer Dance, author of the newly released Red Wolf. Today she tells me about her new book, how she likes to go about writing and how much Joseph Boyden likes her book!
