Niigaan Sinclair (son of the late Murray Sinclair) has been called provocative, revolutionary, and one of this country’s most influential thinkers on the issues impacting Indigenous cultures, communities, and reconciliation in Canada.

In his 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.

Lauren MacLean-Douglas & Jenna Lynn! 🙂

Just added!🦅Jenna, Director of Indigenous Learning, shares a new book by her mentor, Leona Prince, that is now available: outdoorlearning.com/product/be-a-good-ancestor

Rooted in Indigenous teachings, 'Be a Good Ancestor' encourages readers of all ages to consider the ways in which they live in connection to the world around them and to think deeply about their behaviors. 🧡

Addressing environmental issues, animal welfare, self-esteem and self-respect, and the importance of community, the authors deliver a poignant and universal message in an accessible way: Be a good ancestor to the world around you.

Thought-provoking stanzas offer a call to action for each one of us to consider how we affect future generations. Every decision we make ripples out, and we can affect the world around us by thinking deeply about those decisions.

Indigenous author Leona Prince is from the Lake Babine Nation and Nak’azdli Whut’en and belongs to the Lhts’umusyoo (Beaver) Clan.
