🎙️My Conversations with Canadians by Lee Maracle (@bookhugpress.bsky.social)

This essential read shares dialogue between Indigenous peoples and settler Canadians to reimagine the future of our nation.

alllitup.ca/books/my-con...

#lpg50 #alu #indigenousreads
A 50 Books for 50 Years graphic featuring the cover of My Conversations with Canadians by Lee Maracle. The cover features a photograph of a person sitting on the forest floor with a blanket around them. From where the person is sitting, there are thin tree trunks laid on the ground, equally spaced, forming a circle—akin to the roots of a tree stretching out from the trunk. The title and author’s name are right-aligned across the title in a white, bold sans-serif font. The text is mildly translucent so that the photograph can still be seen through it. The text reads: “Literary Press Group of Canada, Celebrating 50 Years Supporting Literature. Book*hug Press.”
