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.

Zippers broke in just about a year making the bag unusable.
Color: Black Brown
I purchased this bag in March of 2025. In just over a year both zippers broke, and I was unable to fix them or use the bag. I don't expect a handbag to last forever but a year for both top zippers to break is a bit much. I would not buy this item again.

Great little budget tote
Color: Black, Color: Black
I use this as my everyday bag (with an organizer inside) and it's the best little bag I've ever had. It's sturdy but soft, the strap is easily adjustable to a bunch of different lengths, and it's roomy enough in the inside for average everyday needs plus the occasional extras! The material is thick enough to be good quality, but not overly inflexibly thick. I also covered mine in pinback buttons and enamel pins, and the fabric is really good for pins - They go on firmly and don't slide around. I saw a lot of complaints about smell, but mine had no bad smell at all!
