From Where I Stand: Rebuilding Indigenous Nations for a Stronger Canada by Jody Wilson-Raybould
4.0
“I come from a long line of matriarchs and I am a truth teller in accordance with the laws and traditions of our Big House,” Jody Wilson-Raybould testified in front of the House of Commons Justice Committee. From Where I Stand is proof of this.
A collection of speeches, Wilson-Raybould’s voice is strong and comes alive. Some of them are more effective than others, as is the nature with any collection. Her introduction was so well written and engaging, I wish more of the book contained original writing to supplement the preexisting speeches.
Anyone hoping for tidbits of gossip will be disappointed but for anyone who takes Indigenous reconciliation in Canada seriously, this is a good read.
