Responding to the observation that non-Indigenous people often view Indigenous people as insignificant and lacking, UBC Professor of First Nations & Indigenous Studies and Director of the Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies Daniel Heath Justice speaks about the hardest book he has ever written: Why Indigenous Literatures Matter and why he agrees with Craig Womack’s important statement that the American canon is part of the Indigenous canon as opposed to the reverse. Justice maintains a posture of hope in the midst and history of conflict, misunderstanding, and oppression in Indigenous communities.
