In Person Politics Non-Fict History
This is a huge embrace of a book, irresistible on every level. Whit Fraser brings an uncanny feel for what truly matters to the telling of his own life as it plays into the unfolding saga of the Canadian North.
Join us for a conversation between Giller Prize Winner Elizabeth Hay and Whit Fraser, former chairman of the Canadian Polar Commission, storyteller for Students on Ice, and the former executive director of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.
Whit’s acclaimed memoir, True North Rising, focuses on the remarkable events and the extraordinary people who spoke up across Canada’s Northern Territories to challenge the colonial attitudes and policies of the past, bringing lasting change and the prospect of greater justice and equality to come.
