Description

Every Story Is a Call to Action collects David A. Robertson’s (Norway House Cree Nation) reflections on the civic power of Indigenous stories and the responsibilities of writers, readers, and communities to act on what stories reveal. This work blends personal anecdote and literary criticism to reflect on the power of literature and the relationship between stories and activism. Robertson also addresses the publishing landscape, discussing what it means for Indigenous creators to claim space in schools, libraries, and media and offers concrete prompts for educators and young writers to turn reading into civic practice. The conversational tone of this work could enable excerpts to be used with younger learners, though the deeper questions asked may resonate more with more advanced learners.
