Item "We story them": Thomas King's rhetorical approach to the de-othering and re-storying of First Nations people(2013) Moorsel, Alyssa Van; Robinson, JackCanadian First Nations people have always been cast as the Other, as the colonized, by caucasian Canadian society: they are the depraved, the damned, the conquered, and the inferior.

Thomas King, in The Truth About Stories, tells stories, drawing upon his upbringing and life experiences while exploring the many stereotypes that have been historically attached to North American indigenous peoples.
