The totem pole is the foundation of this powerful oral history of Canada. Its goal is to tell the country’s story in a way that encourages readers to see it from new angles, appreciating both the broad arc of history and the important details along the way. It reminds us that history is always available to be retold, reinterpreted, and passed on to future generations, with meaning and strength found in the act of re-telling.

The history of Canada, especially the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, has traditionally been told in an exclusive and fragmented way, with the voices of a few dominating over many others. Reconciling History seeks to change that by amplifying the voices that have long been unheard. This groundbreaking book, born from the oral history of True Reconciliation and enriched with powerful photography and art, takes storytelling to a whole new level, offering a more inclusive and diverse account of our shared past.

2. The Growth (Months 5-8): Use cost-effective advertising to reach 25 sales per day, proving profitability.
3. The Gold (Months 9-12): Scale your product offerings to reach 100 sales per day, getting closer to the million-dollar goal.

Ryan Daniel Moran, through Capitalism.com, has helped over 100 entrepreneurs achieve seven-figure success. This one-year plan is intense and challenging but promises to guide you toward owning a million-dollar business and the freedom to control your future.
