Lorena Fontaine’s groundbreaking book advocates for the education of Indigenous children in their ancestral languages. Indigenous language transmission is not only culturally significant, but also a constitutionally protected right that Canada has a duty to uphold.

Get 30% off Eddy Weetaltuk's gripping memoir FROM THE TUNDRA TO THE TRENCHES, Timothy C. Winegard's groundbreaking study FOR KING AND KANATA, and SOUNDING THUNDER, Brian D. McInnes's portrait of legendary sniper, scout, and activist Francis Pegahmagabow.

Come learn more about Manitoba's history and the book the prize jury described as an "outstanding biography that reveals a man of high intelligence and dogged determination who participated in the forming of confederation.”

Lorena will be joined by Shelagh Rogers and Verna Kirkness for an enlightening and heartfelt conversation on Indigenous language transmission, linguicide, and education.

The launch, held at 12:30pm at Calgary Unitarians Church's Panabaker Hall, will feature reflections from Wanda Wuttunee and contributing author Lee Crowchild and a discussion of the continuing relevance of Wuttunee’s work for Indigenous rights in Canada.

The jury writes that, "The work demonstrates a rare balance between scholarly rigor and empathetic storytelling, weaving archival research and oral history with lived experience to illuminate the complex intersections of education, colonial policy, and Indigenous survival."
