James Bartleman is the former lieutenant governor of Ontario and the bestselling author of the novels As Long as the Rivers Flow and The Redemption of Oscar Wolf. A member of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, he is also a retired ambassador, an officer of the Order of Canada, and winner of the Aboriginal Achievement Award. He lives in Perth, Ontario.

about the tragic reality of misogynistic racism and violence
against Indigenous women and girls.

interested in learning about this traumatic chapter in North

*Booklist*
Bartleman’s strength as a writer is his compassion. He respects
each of his characters and sets the stage for real-world
discussions of Canada’s past, present, and future.
*Publishers Weekly*
As Bartleman succeeded in educating me on this grim piece of
history, A Matter of Conscience is a moving piece of literature and
a must-read.
