âThe Knowing is everything weâve come to expect from a Tanya Talaga book â meticulous research, impassioned advocacy, searing prose."âDuncan McCue, author of Decolonizing Journalism: A Guide to Reporting in Indigenous Communities
From award-winning and bestselling Anishinaabe author Tanya Talaga comes a riveting exploration of the dark history of residential schools, âIndian hospitalsâ and asylums, for readers of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Rediscovery of America
For generations, Indigenous People have known that their family members disappeared, many of them after being consigned to a coordinated system designed to destroy who the First Nations, MĂ©tis and Inuit people are. This is one of Canadaâs greatest open secrets, an unhealed wound that until recently lay hidden by shame and abandonment.
The Knowing is the unfolding of history unlike anything we have ever read before. Award-winning and bestselling Anishinaabe author Tanya Talaga retells the history of her country as only she canâthrough an Indigenous lens, beginning with the life of her great-great grandmother Annie Carpenter and her family as they experienced decades of government- and Church-sanctioned enfranchisement and genocide.
Deeply personal and meticulously researched, The Knowing is a seminal unravelling of the centuries-long oppression of Indigenous People that continues to reverberate in these communities today.
