This book grew out of Jodi’s PhD studies with NAIITS, an Indigenous Learning Community exploring Indigenous theology and Christian ethics. In addition to this work, Jodi finds renewal outdoors—fishing, camping, and spending time on the land connecting with the places and people who inspire her work for right-relationship.
