Winner of the Canada Council for the Arts Governor General’s Literary Awards

In this debut essay collection, the provocative and revolutionary words of one of the country’s most influential thinkers are finally collected for readers in one volume.

Here, Niigaan Sinclair expounds on Indigenous futures in the place he calls “ground zero” of Reconciliation in Canada. Read about complex history alongside the radical solutions to injustice and violence found in Winnipeg: 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 forward, “from the centre,” is emerging for all to see.
