LIVRES AGAPÉ BOOKS to Launch Powerful New Memoir – Native Immigrant: A Personal Journey into Our Home and Native Land by Chilean-born Canadian artist and writer Carolina Echeverría
In this deeply moving story, Echeverría traces her path from Chile to Canada, from exile to belonging. Weaving personal memory with political history and profound cross-cultural friendships—especially with Mohawk War Chief Ateronhiatakon (Francis Boots)—she reimagines identity beyond borders and bloodlines. With humor, rage, tenderness, and clarity, she explores what it means to be uprooted, to listen deeply, and to find kinship in unexpected places. A compelling account of resistance, remembrance, and radical hope.
Praise for Native Immigrant
“Rich and fast-paced, this story moves like a thriller. It’s an eye-opener on social injustices and untold truths, told through the biography of a main character who is both funny and deeply compelling. Set between Chile and Canada, the book lays bare the ongoing struggles of Indigenous peoples. The narrative is powerful—I can easily see it becoming a suspenseful film.”
—Michele Setton, Former Canadian Lawyer and Immigration Judge
