THIN AIR 2025 wraps up with Niizhotay Stories, our annual event marking Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Niizhotay Stories honours treasured Elder and tireless community-builder Theodore Niizhotay Fontaine, who called tirelessly for all of us to forge a healing path in the spirit of “two hearts.”  

For this year’s installment, we welcome writer, lawyer, and tireless Indigenous rights advocate Bruce McIvor with his new book, Indigenous Rights in One Minute: What You Need to Know to Talk Reconciliation (Nightwood Editions). Bruce will be in conversation with Sheila North, and Theodore’s wife Morgan will open the gathering with Theodore’s calls to action.

Co-presented with McNally Robinson Booksellers.
