From ground zero of this country's most important project: reconciliation.

Niigaan Sinclair has been called provocative, revolutionary, and one of this country's most influential thinkers on the issues impacting Indigenous cultures, communities, and reconciliation in Canada. In his debut collection of stories, observations, and thoughts about Winnipeg, the place he calls "ground zero" of Canada's future, read about the complex history and contributions of this place alongside the radical solutions to injustice and violence found here, presenting solutions for a country that has forgotten principles of treaty and inclusivity. It is here, in the place where Canada began—where the land, water, people, and animals meet— that a path "from the centre" is happening for all to see.

At a crucial and fragile moment in Canada's long history with Indigenous peoples, one of our most essential writers begins at the centre, capturing a web spanning centuries of community, art, and resistance.

Based on years' worth of columns, Niigaan Sinclair delivers a defining essay collection on the resilience of Indigenous peoples. Here, we meet the creators, leaders, and everyday people preserving the beauty of their heritage one day at a time. But we also meet the ugliest side of colonialism, the Indian Act, and the communities who suffer most from its atrocities.

Sinclair uses the story of Winnipeg to illuminate the reality of Indigenous life all over what is called Canada. This is a book that demands change and celebrates those fighting for it, that reminds us of what must be reconciled and holds accountable those who must do the work. It's a book that reminds us of the power that comes from loving a place, even as that place is violently taken away from you, and the magic of fighting your way back to it.

Ce que les critiques en disent

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Winner of the 2024 Governor General's Literary Award for Nonfiction • Longlisted for the J.W. Dafoe Book Prize • Named a Best Book of 2024 by Audible, Spotify, and Winnipeg Free Press • One of CBC's Best Canadian Nonfiction of 2024
"A deep dive into the city of Winnipeg through the lives and worlds of its original inhabitants, Wînipêk is a necessary and important book: profound, difficult and expansive. Niigaan Sinclair accomplishes the near impossible by creating a compelling and nuanced whole out of a series of newspaper columns. Wînipêk unearths histories of colonial violence, grounded in the wisdom and experiences of those who survived and survive it."
—Jordan Abel, Roby Maynard, and Mary Soderstrom, the 2024 Governor General's Literary Award for Nonfiction peer assessment committee

“Weaving together a quilt of his work in journalism, Wînipêk is at once eloquent, powerful, thematically rich, and a beacon on this path to reconciliation.”
—David A. Robertson, author of The Theory of Crows

“If you want to understand how Canada came to be and how a reconciled future might be charted, you’ve got to understand Winnipeg. To understand Winnipeg, you have to read Niigaan Sinclair.”
—Shawn Micallef, author of Frontier City: Toronto on the Verge of Greatness and Stroll

The research, care and thought that went into this book is so evident. It shared a lot information and history I haven't heard before. It felt like it gave a fair assessment of situations with more than one sides of opinions given. The histories are gutwrenching in some cases. It isn't presented from a sad or hopeless lense but from a trauma informed empathetic lense that helps make sense of these often very heavy topics. It's helped make me feel more connected to my homelands and understanding the past. It also has given inspiration and hope for a better future and pride for what has so far been accomplished towards reconciliation.

Great story telling and educational content

The narration is excellent. Author is concise, direct, honest and kind regarding the subject and beauifuly optimistic on a subject that I knew nothing about. I grew up in Winnipeg. I've lived and worked in The Pas, as well as arctic communities and am ashamed of my ignorance and attitudes. I'm privileged to have discovered this book at 60.
There's always time for reconciliation.

Brilliant! Direct, Honest and generous. Message of hope and true reconciliation.

I despise the church. Especially the catholic church and now in Canada you can believe any religion you want and not be accused with heresy᛫

An unfortunate holocaust that should never have happened because of all the lies and deceit.
