The Bookmark and 糖心vlog官方入口鈥檚 Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies (IKERAS) will host a book launch for Anishinaabe author Tanya Talaga鈥檚 new book, "The Knowing," on Thursday, November 7, at 7 pm, in the 糖心vlog官方入口 Performing Arts Centre amphitheatre (Room 121S). 

"The Knowing" is a riveting exploration of Talaga鈥檚 family鈥檚 story and a retelling of the history of the country now called Canada. For generations, Indigenous People have known that their family members disappeared, many of them after being sent to residential schools, 鈥淚ndian hospitals,鈥� and asylums through a coordinated system designed to destroy who the First Nations, M茅tis, and Inuit people are. Talaga retells the history of this country through an Indigenous lens, beginning with the life of her great-great-grandmother Annie Carpenter and her family as they experienced decades of government- and church-sanctioned enfranchisement and genocide.

This event is free and open to everyone, but tickets are required. To book tickets, go to or call the Bookmark at 902-566-4888.

Please note that challenging topics will be discussed at the event, including, but not limited to, historical traumas, the Residential School system, sexual abuse, and suicide.
