Original People. Original Television, in Ottawa

Stonecircle's own Jennifer David recently celebrated the launch of her new book. (We do wonder what she has been doing in her spare time now that the book is officially released!)

Her book, Original People. Original Television: The launching of the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, came out on September 1 and she held a well-attended book launch in Ottawa last week to celebrate. She is now gearing up for a Winnipeg book launch next week and a Toronto book launch likely happening in October.

She has a website where you can find out more about the book and details on how to purchase a copy: www.debwe.ca.


Jennifer David, signing books.

So far, the book has received excellent reviews. Here's one of them:

"This is a vital story now told with brio by Jennifer David. No dry history, her book is more like a detective novel. It’s a gripping tale about a little known part of Canada’s broadcasting mosaic. It’s packed with unforeseeable zigzags, and especially with colourful, outside characters. Canadians—and not just Aboriginal ones—should read this. First, because it’s an important story. Second, because it's truly entertaining.”

Keith Spicer, former Chairman, Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission 

Congratulations Jennifer!
