In Reconciling: A Struggle to Belong, the life story of Elder Larry Grant's extraordinary heritage intertwines the histories of Musqueam and Vancouver's Chinese-Canadians within the last two centuries. Through conversation with writer Scott Steedman, events like the Chinese Head Tax, the threats of residential school, and resilient movements for Indigenous revival all mark Grant’s lifelong search for belonging and underpin reconciliation as an ongoing and unfinished process; for Indigenous and settler, as well as immigrant and all Canadian-born. 

“I have been reconciling my whole life, with my inner self [...] To not belong was forced upon me by the colonial society that surrounded me. But reconciling with myself is part of all that.”  - Larry Grant
