Born in 1950 and a member of the St\u00f3:l\u014d\u00a0Nation, Lee Maracle wrote and published more than 15 books, including novels, non-fiction, poetry, and collaborative works.\u00a0She was one of the inaugural faculty members in KPU\u2019s newly-established Indigenous Studies Department. The trenchant quality of writing, her willingness to stand in defiance of colonialism, and her capacity for truth-telling had a path-breaking impact on Canadian literary culture and thinking. Her work remains timely and compelling, and her legacy as an Indigenous writer continues to reverberate today. The reading group, which will meet virtually on a monthly basis beginning in October, will begin with <em>My Conversations with Canadians<\/em>. Faculty, staff, and students are invited to join!
