I am speechless. If I could I would give this book 5+ stars.
So much information...stuff I kinda new, stuff I'd never heard of, Google definitely got a workout while I was reading this one.
Thomas King is a wonderful writer. Darkly funny and incredibly informative, he weaves his way through "Indian/White" relations from the arrival of the first colonists to Ipperwash.
He touches on residential schools, Louis Riel, the Trail of Tears, relocation of tribes, enfranchisement, Bill C-31, the deaths due to Starlight Tours in Saskatoon and the confusion of Legal vs Status.
So. Much. Information.
Even the prologue was fascinating.
