Thomas King is a Canadian author and activist who writes about the plight and history of Native-Americans in North America. His latest book is narrated by Lorne Cardinal, who provides an informative and moving retelling of the story that also takes into account the issues facing American Indians today.

This is a book that was written in Canada and the United States. It is about native people who are still around and still being seen as inconvenient by others. It is an account of how they came to North America and how they were treated by Europeans as they were forced onto reservations to live, when they had been living on their own for hundreds of years. The author explains how these natives have been treated ever since they first arrived through a history that includes tribal people not allowing white settlers off the reservations, slavery, wars, and deaths.

The Inconvenient Indian is a book of essays by Thomas King. It looks at how the Native American population has been, and continues to be, affected by the European invasion of North America. The book covers many topics such as the composition of Native American tribes before 1492, Canada's Residential School System and its legacy of abuse, the history of relations between Native Americans and Europeans in North America, and how much information we can trust about North America's indigenous people.

While this is not a complete list, here are some of the things that King discussed in his book: -Some Native people believe that their culture and spirituality defines them as Indians while others see themselves as citizens of Canada. -Native people are struggling with issues of sovereignty, representation, and self-determination. -The European settlers were trying to change Indian society into something they considered familiar by imposing their own culture, language, and religion onto the Indigenous peoples of North America.
