Tanya Talaga
Toutes nos relations : trouver la voie à suivre
À partir de son livre à succès Seven Fallen Feathers, l’histoire de sept élèves autochtones du secondaire qui sont décédés mystérieusement à Thunder Bay, Tanya Talaga crée une expérience intime pour son public. Elle transmet des connaissances approfondies sur la culture et l’histoire Autochtones, tout en favorisant l’acquisition d’un pouvoir d’agir. Elle véhicule un message d’espoir selon lequel nous pouvons apprendre de notre passé et établir une nouvelle voie pour qui se fonde sur l’inclusivité et l’équité.
