RAVEN Book Club

RAVEN is continuing our book club this summer! Join us on June 5, 2025 at 5pm PT (8pm ET) to discuss Unreconciled by Jesse Wente, Anishinaabe writer, broadcaster, and arts leader.

In this incredible book, Wente recounts his life growing up in Toronto and how he navigated his career in the entertainment industry. He reveals the underbelly of Canadian racism that exists toward Indigenous Peoples, showing just how much it has changed since his childhood and how there are still significant strides needed to address the blinders of Canadian society. It’s touching, filled with sentiment, and, at times, heart-wrenching. 

Join us as we parse through the simple yet complex themes that Wente brings through in this “part memoir part manifesto.” 

Depending on the number of attendees, individual participation may vary. 

The book can be purchased here or from your local independent bookstore. Many libraries also carry copies or audiobook versions. 

We will be hosting one more book club meeting over the year on October 9, so stay tuned for more info and the next book!
