History is the heart and soul of any place. In the past it had a heart beat, a pulse. Every place, person has a unique story. Grandview Cemetery is located in Bryan, Texas. This cemetery is one of the largest African American burial grounds in Brazos County with over 1000 people buried there. It had very hopeful beginnings with freed slaves, black business owners and veterans of several wars buried there. There has been an African American presence in Bryan, Texas since early history, they played a major role in the development of the city. The current resting place of so many people is filled with garbage, over grown brush, weeds and so much more. The haunting image of Malinda Cunningham inspired the author to tell the stories of the dead, for the dead do tell tales. This book is dedicated to them.

Proceeds from this book will be donated to MMIW, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Causes. Most of us are familiar with women such as Laura Secord, Lucy Maud Montgomery. These women were important in Canadian History and were featured in books and school history lessons. But we must remember the history of our land was not made by only settlers; Indigenous women have been shaking things up for generation after generation and have had many key roles in Canadian History. If we do not know their names, it is time we started learning them. Our sacred women who have been missing and murdered are indeed a Canadian National Crisis. We must bring about change and awareness.

This book is a very personal journey of my family genealogy. This incredible historical journey begins with a seed planted of a Metis Warrior among the Jamestown Colony, Virginia. The Powhatan were a proud American Indian people of Eastern Virginia. Our story begins with Opechancanough Mangopeesomon, Paramount Chief of the Powhatan, born about 1545. We then switch genealogy gears and my family lineage includes Dakota Chiefs. Wabasha I, Wakute Wazican /Pine Shooter is the father of Cuthbert Grant Jr's mother, Grand Nakomas Mah Je Gwoz Since Marguerite, ""Clear sky"". She is also known as ""Utiniwasis. She is also the mother of my great great great grandmother Josephte Grant. And so from this my Proud Metis line begins. I am hoping my own incredible journey that has an amazing pit stop at the famous Jamestown Colony to plant a seed, will inspire so many more to dig deeper into their own family histories and really embrace and celebrate where we come from.

This book takes the reader through the many challenges that Metis people have with their governing bodies. Not all Metis people are treated equally. It is time for Metis Warriors to step forward and say enough is enough.The Rumble of Thunder is the sound of Metis Warriors who have had enough. The Manitoba Metis Federation is notorious for pushing it's citizens under the bannock bus. They are only interested in photo opportunities and not for advancing the rights of the every day Metis citizen. The tyranny has to end. So many are afraid to step forward and speak up. Time for change is now. We must not repeat the mistakes of the past, the future can be bright for our people if our rights are not stomped on. I can tell you that the bannock indeed does not crumble evenly and that is what the MMF is counting on.

This book hopes to explain to the masses exactly what does being transgender means. In a nutshell and to put it as simply as possible, transgender is really an umbrella term for people whose gender identity, gender expression or behavior does not match or conform to what society typically associates with the sex that they were assigned at birth. Gender Identity really refers to a person's internal feeling and sense of being male, female or something else. Gender expression refers to the way an individual communicates gender identity to society through their behavior, clothing, hairstyles, voice or body characteristics. "Trans" in society is sometimes shorthand for the term "transgender". The positive thing to make note of is in the way transgender individuals are being spoken about in popular culture, academia and science and that it is constantly evolving. This book hopes to bring more awareness, knowledge and openness about about transgender people.
