Reliving My Childhood Memories

In the remote Oji-Cree community of North Spirit Lake, Jessie Campbell grew up in a world untouched by modern conveniences. Without electricity or running water, daily life unfolded with simplicity, hardship, and quiet wonder. Through the eyes of a child, Jessie recalls the rich fabric of her early years - the beauty of the land, the strength of family, and the resilience required to face loss and change. Yet at the heart of her story lies a deeper journey: one of faith, discovery, and the quiet unfolding of purpose as she comes to know the Saviour who would forever change her life. Reliving My Childhood Memories: A Child's Journey is a tender, honest memoir - a story of survival, hope, and the enduring power of grace.

Jessie Campbell is Aboriginal Oji-Cree, and grew up in North Spirit Lake. She moved away at the age of seven after the death of her mother, then on to Sandy Lake, Ontario, and at fifteen years of age she moved back to her home. She now resides in Winnipeg and is the mother of nine children.
