Dear Editor:
Thomas King is a great writer. I have read every one of his books and have loved all of them. I do not care about his ancestry. He obviously identifies with the Native people because he loves them and writes about them with wonderful insight.
Since it was not his fault that he believed for his entire life that he was Indigenous and spent his time writing amazing literature for us all to enjoy let us be happy with that truth.
I am positive that every who is alive today has not, once they reach puberty, dug into their history to find out if what their parents told them about their heritage was true and I really don’t understand why the so-called intelligentsia is wringing their collective hands about it.
Get over it, leave the poor man alone and read one of his books. I am proud and pleased that we have such a talented writer living and working (and walking) in our area.
Christy Doraty,
Fergus
