À propos de cet audio
The incomparable first-hand account of the historic Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada told by one of the commissioners who led it.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established to record the previously hidden history of more than a century of forced residential schooling for Indigenous children. Marie Wilson helped lead that work as one of just three commissioners. With the skills of a journalist, the heart of a mother and grandmother, and the insights of a life as the spouse of a residential school survivor, Commissioner Wilson guides listeners through her years witnessing survivor testimony across the country, providing her unique perspective on the personal toll and enduring public value of the commission. In this unparalleled account, she honours the voices of survivors who have called Canada to attention, determined to heal, reclaim, and thrive.
Part vital public documentary, part probing memoir, North of Nowhere breathes fresh air into the possibilities of reconciliation amid the persistent legacy of residential schools. It is a call to everyone to view the important and continuing work of reconciliation not as an obligation but as a gift.

Mary Siisip Geniusz has spent more than thirty years working with, living with, and using the Anishinaabe teachings, recipes, and botanical information, she shares in Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask. Geniusz gained much of the knowledge she writes about from her years as an oshkaabewis, a traditionally trained apprentice, and as friend to the late Keewaydinoquay, an Anishinaabe medicine woman from the Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan and a scholar, teacher, and practitioner in the field of native ethnobotany.

Histoire10
In arresting, but harrowing, prose, James Daschuk examines the roles that Old World diseases, climate, and, most disturbingly, Canadian politics—the politics of ethnocide—played in the deaths and subjugation of thousands of Indigenous people in the realization of Sir John A. Macdonald’s “National Dream.” It was a dream that came at great expense: the present disparity in health and economic well-being between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations, and the lingering racism and misunderstanding that permeates the national consciousness to this day.

I found it interesting that she chose the title "North of Nowhere" for her book, a phrase she borrowed from her Mother In Law, an Indigenous elder from the Northwest Territories - northwest of Ottawa, but "north of nowhere" to her, as her family has called the land home for many generations. 🪶
Marie's memoir is authentic and vulnerable. Not only does she speak candidly about her raw and powerful experience interviewing and giving space to residential school survivors across the country, she also weaves in honest and touching moments from her own life- including triumphs, but more importantly struggles- with relationships, career, family, and moments where she felt she failed to rise to the occasion. Her story has helped me to get through some challenging times in my own life. 🧡
Murray Sinclair, former judge and chair of the TRC, has said, "Education got us into this mess, and education will get us out." I think it's important that as Canadians, we make an effort to learn about the dark legacy of residential schools and what we can do to further the spirit of reconciliation. Reading (or listening) to this book is a good place to start. Marie also narrates the audiobook on Audible, and after many years of experience in broadcast journalism, she does a great job! 🕊
