The multi-award-winning and nationally bestselling memoir, with new material, now in paperback!
When his father was given a diagnosis of terminal cancer, Winnipeg broadcaster and musician Wab Kinew decided to spend a year reconnecting with the accomplished but distant aboriginal man who’d raised him. The Reason You Walk spans the year 2012, chronicling painful moments in the past and celebrating renewed hopes and dreams for the future.
As Kinew revisits his own childhood in Winnipeg and on a reserve in Northern Ontario, he learns more about his father’s traumatic childhood at residential school. His father, Tobasonakwut, was a beloved traditonal chief and respected leader. Internally divided, his father embraced both traditional religion and Catholicism, the religion that was inculcated into him at the residential school where he was physically and sexually abused. In a grand gesture of reconciliation, Kinew’s father adopted the Roman Catholic bishop of Winnipeg as his brother.
Kinew writes affectingly of his own struggles in his twenties to find the right path, eventually giving up a self-destructive lifestyle to passionately pursue music and martial arts. From his unique vantage point, he offers an inside view of what it means to be an educated Aboriginal living in a country that is just beginning to wake up to its idengenous history and living presence.
Invoking hope, healing, and forgiveness, The Reason You Walk is a poignant story of a towering but damaged father and his son as they repair their family bond. By turns lighthearted and solemn, Kinew creates an inspiring vision of family, cross-cultural reconciliation, and of the future of Aboriginal peoples.

Great shirts.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I have 10. These are great, stylish shirts especially for the price. I usually wear between size L-XL slim fit (Banana Republic). I’m 6’ 200 lbs medium athletic build and L fits perfectly. With a quick press, they do not wrinkle easily. I get plenty of compliments.

Runs large, not slim fit
Size: Medium, Color: Green
The shirt definitely runs large like all the other reviews say. I usually wear a large, but the medium fit much better. The shirt is definitely not slim fit though.

Great fit and look
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Husband loved it! Great fit and he said it was comfortable. Can be worn untucked or tucked in pants. He wore it with jeans and a blazer untucked for a graduation party and looked perfect for the occasion.

Tight in Chest for Broad Chested Men
Size: XX-Large, Color: Green
Quality is okay but not great. The biggest problem was the size. It was too tight for my broad chest. Ended up giving it away. I bought some similar shirts from a different supplier that I didn’t have issues with.
