Living Resistance

An Indigenous Vision for Seeking Wholeness Every Day

By: Kaitlin B. Curtice

Narrated by: Kaitlin B. Curtice

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.

Thank you!

I am so happy I found this book! I love it just as much as Native. It is a treat to listen to the author read her work. Very inspiring and hopeful.

Buy it!

This is one I will go back to over and over. I will likely also buy a physical copy for my shelf.

Incredibly wise perspective

What an amazing book! The writer is very wise and has remained curious. She has asked tough questions, remained open and provided many ways to spark the reader's own curiosity as well as given direction for many ways we can all do things differently. I will definitely read this again and work with her suggestions. I feel that this book has much value and I am very appreciative! Thank you, wise woman, for this precious gift of living resistance, we can create a better world, you have inspired me to not give up!

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. ✍️

Thank you

So much to think about and resistance practices to consider. This book brought up so much grief and hope for me. Thank you Kaitlin.
