Jesus arrives at the Garden River Indian Reserve in Testament, Alberta, and asks the band-office secretary to hide him, quickly. She puts him to work photocopying the agenda for the council meeting and lets him know that he’s on it—under new business.
A Short History of Indians in Canada, Thomas King’s bestselling collection of twenty tales, is a comic tour de force, showcasing the author at his hilarious and provocative best. With his razor-sharp observations and mystical characters, including the ever-present and ever-changing Coyote, King pokes a sharp stick into the gears of the Native myth-making machine, exposing the underbelly of both historical and contemporary Native-White relationships. Through the laughter, these stories shimmer brightly with the universal truths that unite us.
