Part memoir and part manifesto, Unreconciled is a stirring call to arms to put truth over the flawed concept of reconciliation, and to build a new, respectful relationship between the nation of Canada and Indigenous peoples.

I am really glad I read this book. This book tells the story of an Ojibwe man from childhood to middle age. Jesse Wente shared his experiences of racism, family trauma, and time working in the Canadian media, all of which relates to his identity as an Indigenous person in Canada. Wente reminds readers that reconciliation cannot happen without truth. I think that reading stories like this one will help Canadians come to terms with that truth so that we can begin to make progress in the 94 calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
