Exploring the ongoing cultural colonization of Indigenous peoples in North America and how modern colonization has focused on Indigenous history, culture, and traditions rather than the forceful colonization of the past.

Alissa Wilkinson

Inconvenient Indian counters the "savages" mythology with the truth of Indigenous life, targeting the narratives that colonizers have internalized and lived by and showing how they've been used to reify power, over and over again.

Latimer... takes Thomas King's central thesis of white culpability for Indigenous suppression and conjures conscience-tweaking images of grace and power.

Structural digressions reveal themselves to be gently layered thematic progressions; in Latimer's hands, deft portraiture builds to a vision of profound collective power.
