For our October meeting, we had chosen two books: On the Curve, the life and art of Sybil Andrews by Janet Nicol and Artists in their Studios: where art is born by Robert Amos.
To Talk With Others responds to the minutes of a meeting in August of 1977 between Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau and five Yukon First Nations leaders regarding the then-approved Mackenzie Pipeline.
