description: On her first book tour at the age of 26 Lee Maracle was asked a question from the audience one she couldnt possibly answer at that moment. But she has been thinking about it ever since. As time has passed she has been asked countless similar questions all of them too big to answer but not too large to contemplate. These questions which touch upon subjects such as citizenship segregation labour law prejudice and reconciliation (to name a few) are the heart of My Conversations with Canadians.In prose essays that are both conversational and direct Maracle seeks not to provide any answers to these questions she has lived with for so long. Rather she thinks through each one using a multitude of experiences shes had in Canada as an Indigenous leader a woman and mother and grandmother over the course of her life. Lee Maracles My Conversations with Canadians presents a tour de force exploration into this writers own history and a reimagining of the future of our nation.
