"Indian" in the Cabinet: Speaking Truth to Power by Jody Wilson-Raybould

5.0

I had looked forward to reading this book for a while. There could be some differing opinions on the narration order or the optimism that Wilson-Raybould holds at the end, however this is a book I would recommend to anyone. As a non Indigenous person that does not reside in BC, it provided a glimpse to how BC Indigenous leadership operates by the author’s account. I found it interesting how she came to run for the Liberals and her overall takeaway regarding partisanship especially after being elected as an Independent MP (the first woman to do so). It is discouraging to consider what the political world currently is, and what it’s always been. Wilson-Raybould concludes with a statement about continuing to bring the " unseen to be seen " in regards to the challenges across this country and I think this book contributes to that vision.
