The Inconvenient Indian

a Curious Account of Native People in North America
Aug 09, 2017
A subject not easily summed up in a short book, but worthily done by Thomas King. So much to cover, and a shameful history for sure, because it seems the more the US and Canadian governments try to regulate indigenous peoples the stickier and more restrictive things become, usually to the Inconvenient Indians' detriment. And just how does a righteous invader properly deal with the occupying peoples? You might think that decimation by war, disease, marginalization, and forced assimilation would work just fine. But alas. So, here's to the resilient, strong, determined, and inconvenient Indians on both sides of the border. May they persevere and flourish. Kris--Pt. Roberts
