SCO CELEBRATES KEVIN CHIEF’S NEW BOOK: “WITH A NAME LIKE CHIEF”
The Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) is celebrating SCO citizen and advisor, Kevin Chief, on the release of his new book.
It was published today and is called, “With a Name Like Chief: Reflections on Recovery and Identity Through the Seven Sacred Teachings.”
A proud member of Minegoziibe Anishinabe, Kevin is a former Manitoba Cabinet minister, a bridge builder, a gifted speaker, a proud family man, and a high-stepping square dancer.
Now, Mr. Chief is sharing his powerful and important life story. His book explores the themes of identity, reconciliation, and recovery from alcoholism.
He shared, “I hold deeply that nurturing connections, exploring identity, and sharing stories all matter a great deal.
This belief is at the heart of my decision to write this book.”
Follow his journey—from growing up in poverty, to becoming a star athlete, to serving as an elected official—in this inspiring book.
Co-authored by Stu Slayen, “With a Name Like Chief” is available now to order from HighWater Press (an imprint of Portage & Main Press).
