In See-Me Street: My Homeless Indigenous Journey, DerRic Starlight lays down the story of three years on the streets of Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Toronto, and Vancouver. Known for his comedy and puppets, he walked away from the stage and the drinking life to confront homelessness and recovery head-on. What he found was a street Nation that taught him what survival really means. Through diary entries, raw stories, and stark black-and-white photographs, he pulls readers into the chaos and courage of street life — the fights, the beatings, the bottles, and the surprising acts of kinship that kept him alive. This book is a powerful resource for general readers, outreach workers, and those exploring Indigenous perspectives and the social forces shaping life on the streets. It is available in both hardcover and paperback editions.
