Canadian journalist Tanya Talaga talks about her account of the lives of seven Indigenous students who died while attending high school in Thunder Bay, Ontario, over the first 11 years of this century. A hard-hitting story of the realities of Canadian racism, complicity, and Indigenous suffering. With commentary from two members of the prize jury (Taiaiake Alfred and Joseph Heath) and an introduction from Allison Fisher.
Talaga was a finalist for the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing for this book. This video was produced by Shaw Communications for the 2018 Politics and the Pen event.
