A Mohawk’s journey to understanding what success truly is
The greatest lesson Waneek Horn-Miller ever learned was that “anything is possible.” After being stabbed at the age of fourteen during the Oka Crisis, she could have given up. Instead, drawing on her mother’s strength and the wisdom of her elders, Horn-Miller embraced life like never before, eventually winning a gold medal at the 1999 Pan Am Games and competing at the Olympic Games in Sydney. A model of perseverance, good-natured humour and wisdom, Horn-Miller inspires people to follow their own dreams, fight for their heritage, and achieve their full potential even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Drawing on Horn-Miller’s own story, the wisdom of her elders and the community that helped her along the way, Seeking Peace is an incredible, moving and often counterintuitive guide to reaching new heights and truly embracing who we are.
