The truth about stories : a Native narrative

King, Thomas, 1943 (author.). Coulter, Philip (producer.). Kennedy, Paul (host.). Lucht, Bernie, 1944- (producer.). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (issuing body.).

Summary: "This years Massey Lecture features Thomas King, one of Canada's leading authors. He has written four best-selling novels, numerous television scripts and award-winning works of short fiction and non-fiction featuring Aboriginal themes, and is a professor at the University of Guelph. In these five lecturers, author, scholar and photographer Thomas King looks at the breadth and depth of Native experience and imagination. Beginning with Native oral stories, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, in an effort to make sense out of North America's relationship with its Aboriginal Peoples. Massey Lecturer -- Thomas King Millions of Canadians know him as the creative force behind CBC Radio's Dead Dog Cafe Comedy Hour. With humour as his vehicle, king has brought First Nations issues to the forefront of Canadian Society. He has cleverly used Dead Dog Cafe as a vehicle for mainstream Canada to learn about some serious issues affecting the Aboriginal community and a window into the Aboriginal culture. By making Canadians laugh, king makes us all think about and face the country's Aboriginal reality. I doing so, he joins a select group that includes John Kenneth Galbraith Martin Luther King and Noam Chomsky in being asked to deliver canada's most significant public lecture series." -- goodreads.com
