My personal #books #ReadingGoal this year is to find & read every book that Richard Wagamese wrote. I have read 3 of his books so far & loved them. He's one of my fave #Indigenous authors in #Canada.

Richard Wagamese was one of Canada’s foremost #IndigenousAuthors & esteemed public speaker & #storyteller. A professional writer since 1979, he was a newspaper columnist & reporter, radio & television broadcaster & producer, documentary producer & author of 14 titles from various #Canadian publishers.

He was a success in every genre of writing he tried. An #Ojibway from the #Wabaseemoong #FirstNation in Northwestern #Ontario, he became the first #NativeCanadian to win a National Newspaper Award for Column Writing in 1991. He won the Alberta Writers Guild Best Novel Award for his debut novel, Keeper’n Me in 1994 & the Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction for his third novel Dream Wheels, in 2007. One Native Life was one of The Globe & Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2008 & One Story, One Song was awarded the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature in 2011.

Indian Horse, the feature film, is based on his book of the same title.

If you haven't read any of his books yet, I highly recommend finding them at your local library 👍📚

Lisa Jackson and The National #Film Board - #NFB of #Canada have created a #documentary that redefines #Indigenous #knowledge and #teachings using the life and times of #Elder, #cosmology and #astronomy expert, Wilfred Buck.

“We are in the process of remaking an age-old song . . . signing, dreaming, praying, talking into existence once again the knowledge of our people,” said Wilfred Buck.

Moving between the earth and stars, past and present, this hybrid feature documentary follows the extraordinary life of Wilfred Buck, a charismatic and impertinent #Cree Elder who overcame a harrowing – yet all too familiar — history of displacement, racism and addiction by reclaiming ancestral star knowledge and ceremony.

Buck is humble, profound, funny, always real and a master #storyteller. Narration taken from his #autobiography, I Have Lived Four Lives, condenses the loss and desperate pain of his youth into powerful, Beat-like poetry.

A #liberal has to tell a hundred stories, or a thousand. A #communist has one story, which might not turn out to be true. A #fascist just has to be a #storyteller. Because words do not attach to meanings, the stories don’t need to be consistent. They don’t need to accord w/external #reality. A fascist storyteller just has to find a pulse & hold it. This can proceed through rehearsal, as w/ #Hitler, or by way of trial & error, as w/ #Trump.
