Standoff: Why Reconciliation Fails Indigenous People and How to Fix It

Thank you to NetGalley and Nightwood Editions for the audio ARC!
What an important and interesting nonfiction read! I have been on a journey to educate myself more on indigenous issues and this was a great audiobook. The narrator managed to keep even the more complex chapters engaging. As this is a collection of essays about the laws surrounding indigenous land in Canada, I was a little worried about my comprehension of the legal jargon. However, I think this book was about as accessible as the author could have possibly made it, considering all the topics covered. This discussed a lot about treaty rights and how they relate to indigenous culture. I also learned a lot about the atrocities committed on the daily by Canadian government, and how they are failing indigenous peoples. Highly recommend, this is a quick read/listen with a big impact!
4.5 Stars rounded up.
