About the book and the talk:聽
Divided by a beautiful valley and 150 years of racism, the town of Rossburn and the Waywayseecappo Indian reserve in Manitoba have been neighbours nearly as long as Canada has been a country. Their story reflects much of what has gone wrong in relations between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous Canadians. It also offers, in the end, an uncommon measure of hope.鈥�痠s about how two communities became separate and unequal鈥攁nd what it means for the rest of us.鈥�
Please join Andrew Stobo Sniderman and Douglas Sanderson (Amo Binashii) for a discussion about their bestselling book.聽
