The Colonial Problem: An Indigenous Perspective on Crime and Injustice in Canada

In her new book, she writes honestly and unapologetically about the historical and contemporary “colonial problem” in Canada and helps the reader visualize a decolonized future for Turtle Island and its peoples. She also discusses issues concerning the criminalization of Indigenous peoples.
