Ojibwe arts journalist Jesse Wente presents a memoir on Indigenous life in Canada, reflecting on his own identity and addressing the racist history of mistreatment toward Indigenous people.

Colonialism severed First Nations communities from their land, culture, and spaces.

When settlers from Europe came to North America, the Indigenous people who lived there were brutally murdered, cast away, or exploited.

There have been efforts in Canada to reconcile with the Indigenous communities, but colonialism's lingering social and political effects still harm native communities today.

Jesse Wente is a First Nations Canadian activist and arts journalist who speaks out against the mistreatment, dehumanization, and silencing of Indigenous people while uplifting their voices.

Wente experienced a complicated process in restoring his connection to the Indigenous community and understanding his own identity after his family had been broken apart.

Unreconciled reveals the lies that have long since affected the relationship between Canada and Indigenous peoples, and calls for change.
