    What People Are SayingSEE COMPLETE LIST

    “For parents, social workers, those working in the international
    development aid, and even for social Christians, this book is a must.
    It is an inspiration for all to join the author’s battle against
    economic dependency. The struggle against poverty is a noble cause,
    but empowerment of the poor is the key, not making them dependent. The
    author’s invention of the word undependence is a powerful contribution
    to the debate about the globalization of poverty.”

    Armando Lampe

    Priest, University Lecturer, Former member of Parliament from Aruba

    “Calvin Helin’s epic study of dependence and the physical, mental as well as spiritual harm it spreads among its victims is a revolutionary document. A leading First Nations lawyer, the son of a fisherman, and very much a self-made intellectual and reluctant advocate, Calvin speaks for his people from the heart and from the gut. The collected wisdom in this book will lift the burden and let the sunshine in.”

    PETER C. NEWMAN

    Bestselling author and award winning internationally renowned opinion leader.

    “Calvin Helin’s ‘Dances with Dependency’ was a wake up call to his fellow Aboriginal peoples and to non-Aboriginal Canadians that Canadian public policy traps many First Nations people in a culture of dependency, one that destroys body, mind and spirit. Now Mr. Helin has widened his scope to governments and middle class families in the western world…Coming from one of North America’s leading Aboriginal reformers, wider society should take this courageous man’s convictions very seriously”

    Michael Adams

    President of the Environics Research Group Limited and International Author

    “Every person in the media should read this book. They could then follow up and question those in power and push for effective change. Calvin is right on. Thank you Calvin for telling it like it is.”

    Hon. John D. Reynolds

    A Member of the Queens Privy Council for Canada
