Event

“You are always sitting just out of reach of my kitchen table; you occupy a large space in my mind, and so I thought I would like to have a conversation with you. You are not invited into the text to respond, and for that I apologize. Instead I take it upon myself to scribble a number of chapters in response to a number of common questions. I hope to create a conversational book. Perhaps we will meet at some justice event in the future. But now, in my imagination, I locate you in my kitchen.”

So begins Sto:lo author Lee Maracle’s My Conversation with Canadians. In her book, Maracle invites us to engage with Indigenous History and how it intersects with Canadian History, and how those histories effect our present and our future. We invite you to read this book and come together to discuss it with other community members and one of our librarians. The discussion will take place in person at Capilano Branch and over Zoom.

You can find copies of the book through Libby/OverDrive. You can also pick up a physical copy at Capilano branch or arrange a pickup at Parkgate, Lynn Valley, or Lions Gate Express by contacting Sara.
