    The Truth About Stories
    A Native Narrative
    Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award ''Stories are wondrous things,'' award - winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. ''And they are dangerous.'' Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.
