David A. Robertson’s award winning memoir, Black Water, is about a journey of discovery and identity. David, the son of a Cree father and a white mother knew virtually nothing about his indigenous roots growing up. But he takes a trip with his father to the family trapline – to Black Water – a profoundly moving experience that raises questions of the past, the meaning of memory, and the ties that bind.
