Review: A Short History of Indians in Canada: Stories User Review - GateGypsy - Goodreads. Thomas King's style and humour are wonderfully entertaining. I haven't read anything by him that I didn't like, so far. His short stories in this collection are at times heartbreaking and at times side-splitting. A great read! Read full review. Thomas King's collection of tongue-in-cheek short stories inspired by the lives of Indigenous peoples of Canada and the US are satirical, political, uncomfortable, and hard-to-ignore. King takes on the societal whitewashing of the world in unexpected ways. Thomas King’s A Short History of Indians in Canada introduces the effects of colonialism and bias established on indigenous peoples’ reputation through satire. King’s play on major metaphors and animal depiction of indigenous people paints an image of an abhorrent and gruesome history. Through moments of humour, King makes references to racial profiling, stereotypes and mistreatment as historically true.
