Thomas King is renowned as a writer, educator, activist and humorist. His new book, The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America, is described by The Globe and Mail as “'history' and the complete subversion of history… a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be “Indian”.
