We rise by lifting others. This is what happens when powerful thought-leaders and overcomes join forces to inspire, motivate and empower others for positive change. Through transparent narratives we share our experiences of how breakdowns became breakthroughs, and it is our mission to transform lives-one story at a time. Each author has decided to donate the Amazon sales profits of this book to Rahab's Hope of Ohio, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting survivors of human trafficking. Thank you for your support.

In Telling Animals, Jasmine Spencer offers a comparative yet personal approach to Dene/Athabaskan stories, both Northern and Southern. It examines the animating effects of animal stories, the transformative power of animacies in Dene stories, and the effects of narrative revitalization through animal grammar. It takes as its first premise the teachings of many Elders, who have shared that the stories are alive. Jasmine Spencer's comparative approach combines literary, linguistic, anthropological, and philosophical theories and methods using a deictic framework for closely reading the stories in both their Dene languages and in English translation. The narrative epistemologies enacted by Dene stories counterbalance many of the ethical problems inherent within Euro-Western approaches to ontology and experience. These stories revive those who listen and read, offering hope.
