“I have unchained all the prisoners from my basement and freed the ghosts from my attic.
I was the guy who ended up holding the keys to their freedom.
It was me who let them out.
It’s a job that no one else could do and one that comes with great consequence because these ghosts and prisoners are standing around me now all day, all night long.
I told my truth the way I heard it and the way I remembered it and that’s all I have. Everything else is bullshit.” Tom Wilson

I saw Tom the other night and he changed me. He really made an impact. Thank you for being on earth.
I went to his reading in Winnipeg, read his book cried many times. Took me places of sadness.
I heard Tom on CBC radio ....his honesty found my way here !
Like the first few chapters on his child hood, but tone and vibe and feel. Sensational depth man.

I never heard of you, then you were on APTN, then just the other day interviewed on CBC! I am inuit, our spirit needs to meet, somehow some day soon.
One of my favorite LHO songs mixed perfectly with one of my favorite books, what else could anyone ask for? Thanks Tom.
Just finished reading your book Beautiful Scars. Loved the honesty and the heart. Wellaylin, Na:wen for sharing your important life story. Just wanted to say, as a Mi’Kmaq sister, that you’re definitely Mohawk, your Acknowledgements are four and a half pages long!! 🙂 Ask any Anishnawbe and we’d all agree that that’s a sure sign of a proud Mohawk. 🤪
