Wînipêk: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre
Something interesting is happening in Wînipêk – the centre of Canada and, indeed, North America. It is something happening – or about to happen – in the rest of the country. In Niigaan Sinclair’s 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.
