Lee Maracle, OC, is a writer and a teacher, an artist and a performer, a siyam and an inspiration to many. She is one of the Sto:lo people, who are part of the Pacific Coast Salish Nation, and a granddaughter of Chief Dan George (band chief, actor, and writer). Lee has written many award-winning works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, including her wonderful book Memory Serves, which we featured on this podcast back in January. Her most recent books are My Conversations with Canadians, a non-fiction work that sets out the grounds for what a shared future might look like for settlers and indigenous people, and the collaborative book Hope Matters, written with her daughters Columpa Bobb and Tania Carter. Lee joins us for a wide-ranging conversation that begins with her experiences reading Great Expectations aloud to her children and her community.
