At the centre of a shared world, we are all north of nowhere.
North of Nowhere is the incomparable first-hand account of the historic Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, told by one of the three Commissioners who led it. Established to record the previously hidden history of more than a century of forced residential schooling for Indigenous children, the TRC comes alive as Commissioner Marie Wilson guides readers through her years witnessing Survivor testimony across the country.
In this powerful and important book, Commissioner Wilson sees with the eyes of a journalist, listens with the heart of a mother and grandmother, and writes with the voice of a gifted storyteller. Featuring a new preface reflecting on the years since the Commission's final report, this edition invites readers to consider both how far we have come and how much remains to be done. Part vital public documentary, part probing memoir, North of Nowhere honours the voices of Survivors who have called Canada to attention and calls on everyone to view reconciliation not as an obligation, but as a gift. This is a parable for Canada, a song of lament and of hope.
