The Inconvenient Indian
Canadian author Thomas King's non-fiction work The Inconvenient Indian is the winner of the 2014 British Columbia National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction.
The book is a critical and personal meditation that King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be "Indian" in North America. It covers the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other.
The book is both timeless and timely as each try to understand how we might tell a new story for the future. Well deserving of this popular award.
