Canada Reads 2020 : Jesse Thistle on From the Ashes [videorecording] / Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

Summary:

Métis-Cree writer Jesse Thistle talks about how our own story can emerge from getting the "small fragments of our experience" down on the page.

Thistle is now a professor at York University and a bestselling author.
