Many non-Indigenous Canadians can trace, in their own lives or in their family histories, the tracks of journeys from elsewhere. First-generation immigrants, when their struggles with making a living and settling in have been resolved, often feel the urge to reflect on and understand their complex identity in their new setting; descendants of immigrants may be curious about their parent's or grandparents' journeys. Memoir or biography can be a powerful way of accepting and working through this moment.
