she couldn't 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 she's had as a Canadian, a First Nations leader, a woman and mother and grandmother over the course of her life. Presents a tour de force exploration into the writer's own history and a re-imagining of the future of our nation. Bestseller. 2017.

The book contains a powerful Anishinaabe interpretive perspective on repatriation and on anthropology itself.
