Wînipêk: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre

By Niigaan Sinclair

McClelland & Stewart (Penguin Random House Canada)

“A deep dive into the city of Winnipeg through the lives and worlds of its original inhabitants, Wînipêk is a necessary and important book: profound, difficult and expansive. Niigaan Sinclair accomplishes the near impossible by creating a compelling and nuanced whole out of a series of newspaper columns. Wînipêk unearths histories of colonial violence, grounded in the wisdom and experiences of those who survived and survive it.”

—Peer assessment committee: Jordan Abel, Robyn Maynard and Mary Soderstrom

The Canada Council for the Arts thanks this year’s GGBooks partners for their contributions to the promotion of literature from Canada.
