The Electric Chair

This short story explores the Canadian Indigenous experience to raise awareness about historic brutalities as a means of inspiring positive change. The accompanying art piece emphasizes the importance of addressing the practical needs of those marginalized and oppressed rather than solely apologizing to them through symbolic gestures. That, according to the author, will be an actual step towards reconciliation.
