Sharon L. Acoose, PhD (Kiishiibii-biizuu-kinew-lkew, Circling Eagle Woman) has woven together an Indigenous knowledge base – specifically: a group comprised of Instructors, Administration, and Alumni from the School of Indigenous Social Work at the First Nations University of Canada – to provide an informed discussion on ethics through an Indigenous lens. The culmination of this work offers the reader an understanding of the praxis of ethics from Indigenous voices about, and for, Indigenous people.

It is vital to note that the School of Indigenous Social Work is culturally and traditionally motivated. This book is about highlighting the strong ethics infused within the structural base of the School of Indigenous Social Work program.

The authors have all brought a different view on ethics and the importance of maintaining a strong balance: emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally.
