A story eight thousand years in the telling... “This is all a dream to me. A dream from a thousand years ago. And I’m only glad that I can experience it while I’m still awake...” This is the story of a nation, and that of one of its own sons. An abridged version of Roger Emile Stouff’s first three memoirs, 'Losing Home' is his perspective of the Chitimacha people and of the vanishing landscape, coast and river basin they still call home. 'Losing Home' scrutinizes the environmental loss, the cultural challenges, and the personal tragedies that have forever altered land, water and people in what was once a true paradise of wilderness. It also chronicles change in a man’s life when all solace and those things of value that he has known withers and vanishes. ' Losing Home' asks, what is home? And if home has left him can he ever find that place again?
