How much do you know about the Indian Act? Join your North Shore libraries for an evening with Bob Joseph, Indigenous relations expert and bestselling author of 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act, with moderator Alexander Dirksen.
 
Joseph will explain how Indigenous Peoples can step out from under the Indian Act and return to self-government, self-determination, and self-reliance—and why doing so would result in a better country for every Canadian. He will dissect the complex issues around truth and reconciliation and demonstrate why learning about the Indian Act’s cruel, enduring legacy is essential for the country to move toward true reconciliation.
