False claims of Indigenous ancestry are nothing new in Canada. But recent accusations levelled against public figures like Buffy Sainte-Marie, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Michelle Latimer have put increased pressure on institutions and society at large to grapple with the phenomenon of so-called "pretendians." Métis author and poet katherena vermette joins David Common to talk about putting the tension surrounding "pretendians" at the heart of her new novel Real Ones, and why such figures can cause uniquely deep damage to Indigenous communities.

Guest host David Common speaks with Canadian Labour Congress president Bea Bruske about the state of the labour movement today, writer katherena vermette explores how "pretendians" uniquely damage Indigenous communities, journalist and podcaster Jon Ronson talks about how COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns helped fuel culture wars, and cognitive scientist Maya Shankar offers advice on how we can all weather change better.Discover more at https://www.cbc.ca/sunday

Hej! W tym odcinku przyglądamy się trzem powieściom, a każda w inny sposób zadaje pytania o tożsamość, o przynależność, o poczucie zakorzenienia. Zaczynamy od debiutu Margaryty Jakowenko „Przemieszczenie”. To krótki, ale wielowarstwowy tekst, który można interpretować z wielu punktów widzenia. Później Ela opowie o debiucie Deniz Ohde i porozmawiamy sobie trochę o tym, jak ważne w budowaniu przynależności jest imię. Zakończymy na wyprawie do Kanady i powieści „Przerwa” autorstwa Kathereny Vermette. To wielogłosowa opowieść o tym, jak ważne dla kształtowania się naszego „ja” są więzi rodzinne. Książki, o których rozmawiamy w podkaście, to: Margaryta Jakowenko, „Przemieszczenie”, tłum. Agata Ostrowska, ArtRage; Deniz Ohde, „W sztucznym świetle”, tłum.

We celebrate Katherena Vermette's graphic novel series, A Girl Called Echo, on the occasion of the fourth volume's publication. The Governor General's Award winning Métis writer from Treaty 1 territory, Winnipeg, Manitoba, sits down with fellow Winnipeg GG winner David Alexander Robertson, author of the acclaimed Misewa Saga and numerous graphic novels, including Sugar Falls: A Residential School Story. In Vermette's Road Allowance Era, Echo's story picks up again when she travels back in time to 1885. The government has not fulfilled its promise of land for the Métis, and many flee to the Northwest. As part of the fallout from the Northwest Resistance, their advocate and champion Louis Riel is executed. As new legislation corrodes Métis land rights, and unscrupulous land speculators and swindlers take advantage, many Métis settle on road allowances and railway land, often on the fringes of urban centres. For Echo, the plight of her family is apparent. Burnt out of their home in Ste. Madeleine, they make their way to Rooster Town, a shanty community on the southwest edges of Winnipeg. In this final instalment of her story, Echo is reminded of the strength and resilience of her people, forged through the loss and pain of the past, as she faces a triumphant future.

Today Chelsey and Sara are discussing Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich, which we selected for our back-to-school season as “a book we wish we read in high school.” Love Medicine is a novel made up of  interconnected stories that span generations of two families: the Kashpaws and the Lamartines. The stories deal with small family dramas, and huge ones, depicting characters’ past romances and relationships as these families interact over decades. There’s drama, humor, spirituality, and history in between the pages, and we have six incredible books to pair with Erdich’s masterpiece.  Shop our Backlist Recs on Bookshop:  https://bookshop.org/lists/anticipated-fall-reads-2020-backlist-pairings Use our referral code to get TWO  audiobooks for the price of one through Libro.fm: https://libro.fm/redeem/novelpairings (We’re currently listening to: Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi and The Pull of the Stars, Barn 8, and Migrations).

Shauna and Rebecca take an interview break from authors and Canada Reads defenders to chat with publisher Bruce Walsh, formerly of the University of Regina Press.  In June 2020, Bruce will begin his new role as publisher of House of Anansi Press, which was "founded in 1967 with a mandate to publish Canadian writers."  https://houseofanansi.com/  A few of their current titles include: Seven Fallen Feathers by Tanya Talaga; Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club by Megan Gail Coles (2020 Canada Reads selection); and The Break by Katherena Vermette (2017 Canada Reads selection). 

Rebecca and Larissa discuss The Break by Katherena Vermette and both have the same question: why are Rain, Lou, and Flora the only characters in first person?  As a natural segue, Larissa talks about the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in Canada and recommends the following websites:http://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/

RE-POST: While we work on our next episode, we're re-releasing some of our earlier stuff. This is a re-edit of a discussion we had in 2018 about the books Birdie by Tracy Lindberg and The Break by Katherena Vermette. We explore reading these fabulous Indigenous women as settlers in Canada/Turtle Island, what this does in the larger picture for decolonization, and how to connect fiction to our responsibilities as settlers and treaty people. Content Warning: Both books deal with trauma and violence against women and indigenous peoples and land. We don't discuss the plots in too much depth, but the material is still heavy to deal with. This was recorded a few months after Gerald Stanley was acquitted of the murder or Colton Bouchie and the purchase by the Trudeau government of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, both of which heavily shaped our discussion. Here are some additional resources to expand what we talk about here: https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/ https://yellowheadinstitute.org/ https://reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2018/06/temporary-spaces-of-joy-and-freedom/

Canada: Montreal to Hudson Bay As part of our project to explore the Americas, poet Harry Giles travelled across Canada with Métis writer Katherena Vermette. Starting in Montreal amid the buzzy Quebecois writing scene, the two writers travelled to Winnipeg, where Lord Selkirk’s Red River colony was set up to house farmers displaced by Scotland’s Clearances. From there, the writers flew north to the small town of Churchill – known as the polar bear capital of the world. Today they share some of their unforgettable experiences, and some of the writing inspired by the journey. Part of our Outriders series of events.
