Québec, nous oublions souvent de réfléchir sur nos rapports avec les Autochtones. Depuis le début de la Nouvelle-France, les Blancs et les Autochtones se sont côtoyés et ils ont appris à vivre ensemble au fil du temps. De nos jours, nous semblons ne plus nous souvenir des rapports amicaux d'échange et d'entraide que nous avons établis avec les Premières Nations du Québec.

À travers leurs discussions à bâtons rompus, l'idée de ce livre est venue." -- 4e de couv.
