The inconvenient Indian : a curious account of Native People in North America / Thomas King. by King, Thomas, 1943- Doubleday Canada, c2012. Call #: 970.00497 K54i Subjects Indians of North America -- History.   Indians of North America -- Social life and customs.   Indigenous peoples, Treatment of -- North America.   RBC Taylor Prize.   Burt Award.   North America -- Ethnic relations. Series Canada reads ; 2015. ISBN:  9780385664226 (pbk.) 9780385664219 Description:  xvi, 288 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "The Inconvenient Indian is at once a 'history' and the complete subversion of a history--in short, a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be "Indian" in North America. Rich with dark and light, pain and magic, this book distills the insights gleaned from that meditation, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other. In the process, King refashions old stories about historical events and figures, takes a sideways look at film and pop culture, relates his own complex experiences with activism, and articulates a deep and revolutionary understanding of the cumulative effects of ever-shifting laws and treaties on Native peoples and lands. This is a book both timeless and timely, burnished with anger but tempered by wit, and ultimately a hard-won offering of hope -- a sometimes inconvenient, but nonetheless indispensable account for all of us, Indian and non-Indian alike, seeking to understand how we might tell a new story for the future."--Overdrive.
