About Indian Horse:

"An adaptation of Richard Wagamese’s award-winning novel, this moving and important drama sheds light on the dark history of Canada’s Residential Schools and the indomitable spirit of Indigenous people."

About Tanya Talaga:

"Tanya Talaga is an award-winning investigative journalist for the Toronto Star and the author of Seven Fallen Feathers. The book, winner of the RBC Taylor Prize, and a finalist for the 2017 Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Nonfiction Prize, is about seven Indigenous high school students who died in Thunder Bay, Ont.
