SJC Fellow publishes new book titled Wînipêk

March 26, 2024 —

SJC Fellow Dr. Niigaan Sinclair publishes new book titled, Wînipêk, an exploration of reconciliation centred around Winnipeg, its history and people.

Based on years’ worth of columns, Niigaan Sinclair delivers a defining essay collection on the resilience of Indigenous peoples. Here, we meet the creators, leaders, and everyday people preserving the beauty of their heritage one day at a time. But we also meet the ugliest side of colonialism, the Indian Act, and the communities who suffer most from its atrocities.
