A bold, provocative collection of essays exploring the historical and contemporary Indigenous experience in Canada.

With authority and insight, Truth Telling examines a wide range of Indigenous issues framed by Michelle Good’s personal experience and knowledge.

From racism, broken treaties, and cultural pillaging, to the value of Indigenous lives and the importance of Indigenous literature, this collection reveals facts about Indigenous life in Canada that are both devastating and enlightening. Truth Telling also demonstrates the myths underlying Canadian history and the human cost of colonialism, showing how it continues to underpin modern social institutions in Canada.

Passionate and uncompromising, Michelle Good affirms that meaningful and substantive reconciliation hinges on recognition of Indigenous self-determination, the return of lands, and a just redistribution of the wealth that has been taken from those lands without regard for Indigenous peoples.

Truth Telling is essential reading for those looking to acknowledge the past and understand the way forward.

This is a collection of seven personal, hugely accessible essays that dismantle colonial myths and examine the ongoing, systemic impacts of historical injustices on Indigenous people in Canada.

I appreciated how contemporary and readable it is, with complex, legal history made clear. The analogy of colonial treaties as Lucy eternally promising you can kick the football, only to whip it away at the last moment, I found really effective.

The chapter titled $13.69 is quietly devastating.

The passionate chapter on pretendians is powerful. It did feel unfortunate that Buffy Sainte-Marie was earlier cited as an example of a Sixties Scoop child - but IMHO it does not really undercut her compelling argument, really it augments it.

Overall, this is an important, thoughtful, and engaging book.

The inclusion of Buffy Ste Marie as a scooped kid ….we know that’s just not true!

All settlers need to read or listen to this book. Michelle did a great job explaining what it is that indigenous people want and issues they continue to face today.

Excellent information
