Seeing past the Canadian Myth: Truth Telling and Conversation with Michelle Good

Thursday February 27, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm MST

ECC - Hall D

Canadian history has never been a story told through the lens of Indigenous experience. It is thus no surprise that the challenges to reconciliation continue to stymie its progress. The conversation with Michelle Good will explore the critical role of truth as a prerequisite to reconciliation. She will discuss her work and continuous efforts through law and literature to reveal the long-standing and ongoing impact of colonial violence, including Canada's starvation and land policies, Indian Residential School System, the Sixties Scoop, and the murder of Indigenous women and girls. It will also survey Good's own story, which she has generously shared in her book, as well as what non-Indigenous Canadians, including at universities across the country, can do to further justice, truth, and ultimately, reconciliation.
