Wab Kinew & Eric Friesen discuss Wab's new book. Videography by CuriousYou curiousyou.com/ Wab Kinew, author of The Reason You Walk, is best known, perhaps, as a CBC Radio broadcaster and television host. Born a member of the Onigaming First Nation in Northwestern Ontario to an Anishinaabe father and non-native mother, he was the panelist on Canada Reads who lead Joseph Boyden’s aboriginal novel The Orenda to win the competition. Now, in conversation with Eric Friesen, Wab shares his own remarkable and ultimately hopeful personal story of spending a year reconnecting with his dying father, and the journey on which it leads him through painful territory for both father and son.
