Abstract: Since its publication in 2012, The Inconvenient Indian has become a Canadian classic. At once a history and a subversion of history, this book has launched a national conversation about what it means to be "Indian" in North America, and the relationship between Natives and non-Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other. This is a book both timeless and timely, burnished with anger yet tempered by wit, and ultimately a hard-won offering of hope--a sometimes inconvenient but nonetheless indispensable account for all of us, seeking to understand how we might tell a new story for the future."-- Provided by publisher.

Contents: Prologue : Warm toast and porcupines -- Forget Columbus -- The end of the Trail -- Too heavy to lift -- One name to rule them all -- We are sorry -- Like cowboys and Indians -- Forget about it -- What Indians want -- As long as the grass is green -- Happy ever after.
