| Summary: | "In Every Story Is a Call to Action, David A. Robertson explores the role of Indigenous stories in stitching together a new understanding of Canada and nurturing a collective experience that helps create lasting social change. He emphasizes the vital and ongoing role of young people in the generational work of reconciliation. A full-time writer who travels across the country to speak in classrooms, conferences, prisons, and festivals, Robertson demonstrates how writing is activism. He shows that stories are catalysts for community-building and youth empowerment. These narratives spark crucial conversations, create vital space for understanding, and inspire collective action for a better future. Robertson's words not only show readers a transformative path, they encourage everyone to walk it together."-- |
