- Reconciling history : a story of Canada / by Wilson-Raybould, Jody,1971-author.; Danesh, R. P.(Roshan P.),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From the #1 national bestselling author of 'Indian' in the Cabinet and True Reconciliation, a polyphonic history of our land -- powerful, devastating, remarkable -- as told through the voices of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The totem pole forms the foundation for this unique and important oral history of Canada. Its goal is both toweringly ambitious and beautifully direct: To tell the story of this country in a way that prompts readers to look from different angles, to see its dimensions, its curves, and its cuts. To see that history has an arc, just as the totem pole rises, but to realize that it is in the details along the way that important meanings are to be found. To recognize, just as Indigenous carvers do, that the story of the past is always there to be retold and recast, and must be conveyed to generations to come. That in the act of re-telling, meaning is found, and strength is built. When it comes to telling the history of Canada, and in particular the history of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, we need to accept that the way in which our history has traditionally been told has not been a common or shared enterprise. In many ways, it has been a highly exclusive and even aggressively siloed one. Among the countless peoples and groups that make up this vast country, some have dominated and controlled how the nation's stories are told -- often emphasizing the voices and experiences of a certain few over those of many others. History-telling today is breaking away from this exclusivity. Our Story in Our Words shares voices that have traditionally been marginalized, and in this groundbreaking book they are telling and re-telling history from their perspectives. Born out of the oral history in True Reconciliation, and complemented throughout with stunning photography and art from the different periods of history, Our Story in Our Words takes this approach to telling our collective story to an entirely different level"--- Subjects: Indigenous peoples; Oral tradition;
