Not so much the Hollywood hero or the heroes of dimestore paperbacks, comic books or television but the everyday heroes that walk among us, touching us with the simple radiance of their lives.

Accessible heroes whose magic is their proximity itself".

Penticton, BC, Canada: Theytus Books, Limited. Good. 1993. First Edition. Paperback. 0919441505 . 172 pages. "Aboriginal heroes are everywhere... Who is Yours?" With these words, the Aboriginal Heroes Contest on which this book is based was introduced to students and teachers across Canada. The heroes theme is an important one.
