Book Review: “Truth Telling” by Michelle Good
<p>It turns out that I might have been wrong. This is the conclusion that I’ve reached after reading <em>Truth Telling</em>, a work by an Indigenous author of Canada named Michelle Good (<em>Five Little Indians</em>). This is a collection of seven essays ranging from issues such as residential schools to missing and murdered Indigenous women to land claims. Reading this book, I realized that I might have taken the wrong approach some 20 years ago when I was building a website on Canadian history for high-school students. One of the units I was tasked with researching and writing had to do with what we were then calling Aboriginals and the various treaties that Canada had entered with Indigenous Peoples. I felt that I did good work, and it had been vetted by a history professor at a university — so I was under the impression that my writing was accurate.</p>
