The truth about Tapwe is that it seeks to both provoke and entertain.

Tapwe is the Cree word for truth.

Tapwe is also a book comprised of selected columns by writer and film-maker Doug Cuthand.

Cuthand said he put the book together because people told him he should write a book.

Cuthand has worked as a columnist since 1991, writing for the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, the Regina Leader-Post and the Winnipeg Free Press. It was from these columns that Cuthand drew the content of Tawpe.
