Her Mothers Daughter

Sandi Boucher’s second best-selling book continues the work started in Honorary Indian, sharing teachings and stories not shared in her first offering. But more, this book allowed Sandi to correct an old wrong. You see, when Sandi’s Anishinaabekwe mother realized that Sandi would be fair like her French father, she saw an opportunity, a way to keep her Indigenous daughter safe in a country that was often anything but. As a result, she would often whisper to her daughter, “Don’t tell people about me, tell them that you are your father’s daughter”. Sandi Boucher is a proud Anishinaabekwe like the woman who raised her and with this book, she exclaims to the world that she is indeed Her Mother’s Daughter. Released in 2013.
