Book Review: North of Nowhere: Song of a Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner

Abstract

North of Nowhere: Song of a Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner, written by former TRC commissioner Marie Wilson, is not specifically about Indigenous-led economic development, but the TRC’s impact on economic development has been significant. I read the book because I wanted to understand how the commissioners, as project administrators, navigated the seemingly impossible five-year mandate that was part of the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA).
