Yet the aspirations of Aboriginal students have too often been thwarted by the very structures that are supposed to help them. Combining a research study, an extensive review of literature, and an analysis of current trends, sociologists Bernard Schissel and Terry Wotherspoon detail the harm done to Aboriginal children and their families not only in the past, when residential schools explicitly set out to eliminate Aboriginal identities, but also in more recent years, when educational systems designed for the mainstream have relegated First Nations students to the sidelines. The authors find hope for the future in four experimental programs from Saskatchewan, in which severely stressed Aboriginal youth have found self-esteem in educational settings that take into account traditional culture and spiritual teachings, as well as academic achievement. Interviews with Aboriginal students provide an additional depth to the authors' findings. This title is designed as supplementary text for second-and third-year undergraduate university and community college courses on Canadian society, Native studies, and introductory sociology of education courses in sociology, Native studies, history, and education. Also for courses on social inequality in Canada, and race and ethnic relations. The volume contains study questions, recommended readings, an extensive bibliography, annotated web sites, and relevant appendices.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167504150691,"sku":"qgk1789916241171","price":89.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/the-legacy-of-school-for-aboriginal-people_1.jpg?v=1789916245"},{"product_id":"the-marshall-decision-and-native-rights","title":"The Marshall Decision and Native Rights","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn The Marshall Decision and Native Rights Ken Coates explains the cross-cultural, legal, and political implications of the recent Supreme Court decision on the Donald Marshall case. He describes the events, personalities, and conflicts that brought the Maritimes to the brink of a major confrontation between Mi'kmaq and the non-Mi'kmaq fishers in the fall of 1999, detailing the bungling by federal departments and the lack of police preparedness. He shows how political, business, and Mi'kmaq leaders in the Maritimes handled the volatile situation, urging non-violence and speaking out against racism, in contrast to the way federal and regional leaders have responded in other parts of the country. Legal victories such as Marshall, argues Coates, are a double-edged sword that provide greater legal clarity but expand the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. Coates recounts the history of Mi'kmaq-white contact in the region and considers the impact of Aboriginal rights on natural resources, showing that the costs will be borne mainly by rural Canadians. By placing the local and regional reaction to the Marshall decision in the broader historical, national, and international context of Indigenous political and legal rights The Marshall Decision and Native Rights shows how little Canada has learned from three decades of First Nations legal conflicts and how far the country is from meaningful reconciliation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167523025059,"sku":"zpz1789916478346","price":18.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/the-marshall-decision-and-native-rights_1.jpg?v=1789916482"},{"product_id":"gchi-kwiiwin-gdawmi-we-are-all-treaty-people","title":"Gchi-kwiiwin gdawmi (We Are All Treaty People)","description":"Gchi-kwiiwin gdawmi is the Ojibwe language edition of We Are All Treaty People. It is the 34-page illustrated history produced by the Union of Ontario Indians to promote their understanding of treaties for all people in Ontario. Written in English by Maurice Switzer, with coloured drawings by Charley Hebert, the book offers students and educators a brief look at the history of treaties from the Anishinabek perspective in the Ojibwe language. Translator is esteemed linguist Shirley Williams. The Anishinabek Nation includes Algonquin, Delaware (Lenape), Mississauga, Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi. The book begins with a brief overview of Anishinabek cultural history and worldview. A prediction about the newcomers comes to pass as the people assist these newcomers with food, medicines, and survival techniques. The story continues as the period of peaceful co-existence comes to an end when competition between the French and English is decided during the Seven Year's War. As the chronological history is explained, readers are introduced to Pontiac, the Royal Proclamation, the Treaty of Niagara, and the significance of treaty wampum belts such as the “Covenant Chain” and the Twenty-four Nations Belts. Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois) history documents the exchange of the Covenant Chain Belt with the Dutch, British, and the Americans. Tecumseh, the American Revolution, Indian Territory, the Treaty of Grenville, the War of 1812, and the Robinson Huron and Robinson Superior Treaties are topics covered in We Are All Treaty People. Interspersed throughout these sections are maps, reproductions of treaties, and illustrations of wampum belts. The text moves on to the creation of reserves, land rights issues, the spirit and intent of treaties, the development of legislation called the Indian Act, the creation of residential schools, the 1969 White Paper, the growth of First Nations leadership, and the creation of the Assembly of First Nations. The final pages discuss the three crucial events in the 1990s: Oka, Gustafsen Lake, and Ipperwash. The result of these and other crucial events was the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) and the Ipperwash Inquiry. RCAP recommendations reference the importance of the treaty relationship between First Nations and all Canadian citizens. This book's concise retelling of Anishinabek history makes it an excellent Ojibwe language resource for schools and libraries. Ontario teachers and librarians will find this title is an excellent historical inquiry resource for providing Anishinabek language perspective in the new elementary Social Studies curriculum. Highly recommended.","brand":"Union of Ontario Indians","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167538786467,"sku":"liv1789916665719","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/gchi-kwiiwin-gdawmi-we-are-all-treaty-people_1.jpg?v=1789916693"},{"product_id":"dreaming-in-color","title":"Dreaming in Color","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDreaming in Color by Melanie Florence, of Cree and Scottish heritage, is a story about Jennifer McCaffrey.

By examining Dehcho Resource Revenue Sharing, DÚl¯nÛ Child and Family Services, and Inuvialuit and Gwich'in Culture and Language, the book seeks to explain why self-government requires much patience and hard work.

He believes that anthropologists with expertise in languages, cultures and Aboriginal governments can play a role when complex issues arise.

During World War II Fanon enlisted in the French army and was initially sent with allied forces to Casablanca, Morocco, yet was transferred to France where he fought and was wounded in the battle at Colmar, in northern France. After the war Fanon studied medicine in France, where he specialized in psychiatry. It was while studying in France that Fanon wrote his first book, entitled Black Skin, White Masks (1952), a study of the black subjugation in the western white world.

Loosely based on Death and the Maiden by Chilean playwright Ariel Dorfman, the play identifies the ambiguities that frame past traumatic events. Against the backdrop of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which has facilitated the recent outpouring of stories from residential school survivors across the country, the play explores what is possible when the abused meets the abuser and is given a free forum for expression. While panhandling outside a coffee shop, Johnny, a Cree woman who lives on the streets, is shocked to recognize a face from her childhood, which was spent in a residential school. Desperate to hear the man acknowledge the terrible abuse he inflicted on her and other children at the school, Johnny follows Anglican bishop George King to his office to confront him. Inside King’s office, Johnny’s memories are fluid, shifting, and her voice cracks with raw emotion. Is the bishop actually guilty of what she claims, or has her ability to recollect been altered by poverty, abuse, and starvation experienced on the streets? Can her memories be trusted? Who is responsible for what? Taylor had produced a compelling 2-act play for a cast of two actors that will delve into the lives of an abuser whose actions forever changed the live story of one Cree child.

Stanley was acquitted of both murder and manslaughter by a jury in Battleford. Kent Roach critically reconstructs the Gerald Stanley\/Colten Boushie case in Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice examining historical, legal, political, and sociological background to the case. Was this a miscarriage of justice in the context of Treaty 6 negotiations? Citing the hanging of eight Indigenous men at Fort Battleford, the role of the RCMP, prior litigation over Indigenous underrepresentation on juries, and the racially charged debate about defence of property, self-defence, guns, and rural crime, Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice makes its case. Using trial transcripts and research on miscarriages of justice, Kent Roach looks to jury selection, the controversial \"hang fire\" defence, how the credibility and beliefs of Indigenous witnesses were challenged on the stand, and Gerald Stanley's implicit appeals to self-defence and defence of property, as well as the decision not to appeal the acquittal. Concluding his study, Roach asks whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's controversial call to \"do better\" is possible, given similar cases since Stanley's, the difficulty of reforming the jury or the RCMP, and the combination of Indigenous underrepresentation on juries and overrepresentation among those victimized and accused of crimes. Canadian Justice, Indigenous Injustice provides valuable insight into criminal justice, racism, and the treatment of Indigenous peoples in Canada.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167758692515,"sku":"nxj1789918320994","price":19.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/canadian-justice-indigenous-injustice-the-gerald-stanley-and-colten-boushie-case_1.jpg?v=1789918326"},{"product_id":"if-i-ever-get-out-of-here-pb","title":"If I Ever Get Out of Here PB","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf I Ever Get Out of Here tells the engaging story of seventh-grader Lewis \"Shoe\" Blake from the Tuscarora Reservation.

This final volume of The Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) identifies the challenges that must be overcome if reconciliation is to flourish in the twenty-first century and highlights the critical role that Aboriginal peoples' cultures, histories, and laws must play in the reconciliation process. The volume demonstrates that although apologies from Canada and the churches were important symbolic events, reconciliation also requires concrete measures to repair the damaged relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Crown and to establish respectful relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples. Based on these findings, the Commission makes specific calls to action that, when implemented, will ensure that reconciliation has a strong foundation in Canada, moving into the future. For many Aboriginal people, reconciliation is foremost about healing families and communities, and revitalizing Indigenous cultures, languages, spirituality, laws, and governance systems. For governments, building a respectful relationship involves dismantling a centuries-old political and bureaucratic culture in which, all too often, policies and programs are still based on failed notions of assimilation. For churches, demonstrating long-term commitment to reconciliation requires atoning for harmful actions in the residential schools, respecting Indigenous spirituality, and supporting Indigenous peoples’ struggles for justice and equity. Schools must teach Canadian history in ways that foster mutual respect, empathy, and engagement. All Canadian children and youth deserve to know what happened in the residential schools and to appreciate the rich history and collective knowledge of Indigenous peoples. This volume also emphasizes the important role of public memory in the reconciliation process, as well as the role of Canadian society, including the corporate and non-profit sectors, the media, and the sports community in reconciliation.  The Commission urges Canada to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a framework for reconciliation. While Aboriginal peoples are victims of violence and discrimination, they are also holders of Treaty, Aboriginal, and human rights and have a critical role to play in reconciliation. All Canadians must understand how traditional First Nations, Inuit, and Métis approaches to resolving conflict, repairing harm, and restoring relationships can inform the reconciliation process. The TRC’s calls to action identify the concrete steps that must be taken to ensure that our children and grandchildren can live together in dignity, peace, and prosperity on these lands we now share.","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167835009187,"sku":"tww1789918641605","price":14.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/canadas-residential-schools-vol-6-reconciliation_1.jpg?v=1789918645"},{"product_id":"honorer-la-verite-reconcilier-pour-lavenir-sommaire-du-rapport-final-de-la-commission-de-verite-et-r","title":"Honorer la vérité, réconcilier pour l'avenir, Sommaire du rapport final de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada \/ Final Report of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (FR)","description":"Honorer la vérité, réconcilier pour l'avenir, Sommaire du rapport final de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada is the French translation of Final Report of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission Volume 1 Summary.

It identifies the residential schools as an instrument of cultural genocide and, as such, a part of the Canadian government’s broader colonialist policy towards Aboriginal peoples. The report describe how chronic underfunding led to unhealthy living conditions and death rates that were far higher than those experienced by the general Canadian school-aged population. In addition, the report makes it clear that the government had been advised of the implications of its policies and presented with options-which it chose to ignore-that would have reduced the school death rates. The disruption of Aboriginal students, families, and communities created by the schools continues to be felt to this day. It can be measured by the loss of language and family connections in Aboriginal communities and the ongoing gaps between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians in terms of health, education, and employment outcomes. Reconciliation will bring recognition that the residential schools were part of a broader set of policies aimed at depriving Aboriginal people of their lands, their culture, their spirituality, and their governments.

The government policy led to the loss of lands and access to traditional fishing areas for First Nations. Subsequently the First Nations were restricted to marginal workers in fishing canneries rather than owners, and lost this economic link when migrant workers supplanted them. The book clearly demonstrates the way government policies worked to deny First Nations access to land and fishery resources while opening up the province to other interests such as the commercial fishery, sports fishermen, and the canneries.

This title demonstrates that residential schooling followed a unique trajectory in the North. As late as 1950 there were only six residential schools and one hostel north of the sixtieth parallel. Prior to the 1950s, the federal government left northern residential schools in the hands of the missionary societies that operated largely in the Mackenzie Valley and the Yukon. It was only in the 1950s that Inuit children began attending residential schools in large numbers. The tremendous distances that Inuit children had to travel to school meant that, in some cases, they were separated from their parents for years. The establishment of day schools and what were termed small hostels in over a dozen communities in the eastern Arctic led many Inuit parents to settle in those communities on a year-round basis so as not to be separated from their children, contributing to a dramatic transformation of the Inuit economy and way of life. Not all the northern institutions are remembered similarly. The staff at Grandin College in Fort Smith and the Churchill Vocational Centre in northern Manitoba were often cited for the positive roles that they played in developing and encouraging a new generation of Aboriginal leadership. The legacy of other schools, particularly Grollier Hall in Inuvik and Turquetil Hall in Igluligaarjuk (Chesterfield Inlet), is far darker. These schools were marked by prolonged regimes of sexual abuse and harsh discipline that scarred more than one generation of children for life. Since Aboriginal people make up a large proportion of the population in Canada’s northern territories, the impact of the schools has been felt intensely through the region. And because the history of these schools is so recent, the intergenerational impacts and the legacy of the schools are strongly felt in the North.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167844184227,"sku":"qrn1789918672954","price":18.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/canadas-residential-schools-vol-2-the-inuit_1.jpg?v=1789918676"},{"product_id":"an-illustrated-history-of-canadas-native-4th-ed","title":"An Illustrated History of Canada's Native 4th ed","description":"An Illustrated History of Canada's Native People: I Have Lived Here Since the World Began is the 2016 revised and expanded edition of the earlier title, I Have Lived Here Since the World Began.

This volume 4 of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) report demonstrates that Aboriginal residential school students died at rates higher than non-Aboriginal students. It also demonstrates that the government failure to provide adequate funding, medical treatment, nutrition, housing, sanitation, and clothing contributed to this elevated death rate. In addition, the report makes it clear that the government had been advised of the implications of its policies and presented with options - which it chose to ignore - that would have reduced the school death rates. This title is the first systematic effort to record and analyze deaths at the schools, and the presence and condition of student cemeteries, within the regulatory context in which the schools were intended to operate. As part of its work the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada established a National Residential School Student Death Register. Due to gaps in the available data, the register is far from complete. Although the actual number of deaths is believed to be far higher, 3,200 residential school victims have been identified. The analysis also demonstrates that residential school death rates were significantly higher than those for the general Canadian school-aged population. The failure to establish and enforce adequate standards of care, coupled with the failure to adequately fund the schools, resulted in unnecessarily high death rates at residential schools. Senior government and church officials were well aware of the schools’ ongoing failure to provide adequate levels of custodial care. Children who died at the schools were rarely sent back to their home community. They were usually buried in school or nearby mission cemeteries. As the schools and missions closed, these cemeteries were abandoned. While in a number of instances Aboriginal communities, churches, and former staff have taken steps to rehabilitate cemeteries and commemorate the individuals buried there, most of these cemeteries are now disused and vulnerable to accidental disturbance. In the face of this abandonment, the TRC is proposing the development of a national strategy for the documentation, maintenance, commemoration, and protection of residential school cemeteries. Appendices include: schools destroyed by fire; outbuildings destroyed by fire; additional reported fires 1867 to 1997; and school fires suspected or deliberate 1867 to 1997.","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167883014307,"sku":"dek1789918823229","price":20.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/canadas-residential-schools-vol-4---missing-children-and-unmarked-burials_1.jpg?v=1789918827"},{"product_id":"canadas-residential-schools-vol-1-part-2","title":"Canada's Residential Schools: Vol 1 Part 2","description":"Canada's Residential Schools: The History, Part 2, 1939 to 2000, Volume 1 describes the history and the student experience of residential schools from Confederation to 1939.  This title is part of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Volume 1. This volume outlines the period in which the system was established and expanded. It was also the period of the most intense health crisis. By the end of the 1930s, government officials had come to question the value of the residential school system. The final section covers the years from 1940 to 2000, by which time the system had been brought to an end. While government officials had come to view the schools as costly and inefficient, the churches were reluctant to countenance their closure. It was not until the late 1960s that the federal government finally wrested control of the system away from the churches. Government plans to turn First Nations education over to the provinces met with opposition from Aboriginal organizations that were seeking “Indian Control of Indian Education.” Following parent-led occupation of a school in Alberta, many of the remaining schools came under Aboriginal administration. The closing of the schools coincided with a growing number of convictions of former staff members on charges of sexually abusing students. These trials revealed the degree to which sexual abuse at the schools had been covered up in the past. Former students, who came to refer to themselves as Survivors, established regional and national organizations and provided much of the leadership for the campaign that led to the federal government issuing in 2008 an apology to the former students and their families.","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167925416099,"sku":"xdv1789918933871","price":26.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/canadas-residential-schools-vol-1-part-2_1.jpg?v=1789918961"},{"product_id":"canadas-residential-schools-vol-5-the-legacy","title":"Canada's Residential Schools: Vol 5-The Legacy","description":"Canada's Residential Schools: The Legacy, Volume 5 examines the devastating effects the residential school system has had on former students, their families, and on Canadian society as a whole. It explores the loss of language and culture suffered by Aboriginal people as well as the significant gaps they experience in health, education, and employment outcomes. The Legacy volume also analyzes in depth the dramatic overrepresentation of Aboriginal Canadians in the child welfare and correctional systems. In each of the volume's five sections, the Commissioners present a series of Calls to Action intended to redress the injustices and inequities that are the legacy of the residential school system and the long-standing policies of assimilation that gave birth to it. This title is part of The Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada describes what Canada must do to overcome the schools’ tragic legacy and move towards reconciliation with the country’s first peoples. For over 125 years Aboriginal children suffered abuse and neglect in residential schools run by the Canadian government and by churches. They were taken from their families and communities and confined in large, frightening institutions where they were cut off from their culture and punished for speaking their own language. Infectious diseases claimed the lives of many students and those who survived lived in harsh and alienating conditions. There was little compassion and little education in most of Canada’s residential schools. Although Canada has formally apologized for the residential school system and has compensated its Survivors, the damaging legacy of the schools continues to this day. This volume examines the long shadow that the residential schools have cast over the lives of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis who are more likely to live in poverty, more likely to be in ill health and die sooner, more likely to have their children taken from them, and more likely to be imprisoned than other Canadians. The disappearance of many Indigenous languages and the erosion of cultural traditions and languages also have their roots in residential schools.","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167926628515,"sku":"emq1789918963418","price":20.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/canadas-residential-schools-vol-5-the-legacy_1.jpg?v=1789918972"},{"product_id":"pathways-of-reconciliation","title":"Pathways of Reconciliation","description":"Pathways of Reconciliation: Indigenous and Settler Approaches to Implementing the TRCs Calls to Action is edited by Aimée Craft, an Indigenous (Anishinaabe-Métis) lawyer (called to the Bar in 2005) from Treaty 1 territory in Manitoba, and Paulette Regan,  an independent scholar, researcher, public educator and co-facilitator of an intercultural history and reconciliation education workshop series and formerly the research director for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. This book is part of the Perceptions on Truth and Reconciliation 2. Since the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, participation in reconciliation, an ongoing process of establishing and maintaining respectful relationships, frames everyday acts of resistance, resurgence and solidarity in a renewed commitment to justice, dialogue, and relationship-building. Yet this is a complex process and Pathways of Reconciliation sets out, in four integrated and mutually dependent parts, reconciliation frameworks and pathways from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives to achieve societal change in the context of a recognized cultural genocide. Systemic, structural and institutional racism and discrimination are addressed in Pathways to Reconciliation, an ongoing journey. In Part One of the journey of Truth and Reconciliation, Reframing, long-held beliefs, colonial stories and attitudes of inequality and injustice are redressed. As the journey continues Part 2 Learning and Healing, stopping, reflecting, looking forward and plans to get there are re-conceptualized through dialogue to learn new way of being that heal and inspire. Recognizing that new information makes the journey more meaningful Part 3 is about Researching and sharing the findings with others. The experience of the journey itself is a learning experience and humility and courage are needed but this is the pathway to Living, Part 4.

Over the course of a century until the late 1700s, the British Crown, the Haudenosaunee, Ojibwe, Delaware, Wendat and other First Nations of eastern North America developed a system of alliances and treaties that came to be known collectively as the Covenant Chain. Through this fresh perspective, he overturns assumptions about early First Nations--Crown relationships and demonstrates the relevance of the Covenant Chain to the current relationship. By examining the forms of expression contained in colonial documents, the Record of Indian Affairs, and related materials, Morito locates the values and moral commitments that underpinned the parties’ strategies for negotiation and reconciliation. What becomes apparent is that these interactions developed an ethic of mutually recognized respect that was coherent and neither culturally nor historically bound. This ethic, Morito argues, remains relevant to current debates over Aboriginal and treaty rights as they pertain to the British Crown tradition. Real change is possible if the focus can be shifted from piecemeal legal and political disputes to the development of an intercultural ethic based on trust, respect, and solidarity. The book contains details about the Covenant Chain, wampum, and treaties.

This book is published by Purich Books (UBC Press). From Where I Stand highlights five main areas of Jody Wilson-Raybould’s foundational understanding on charting a new course for true reconciliation in Canada: Moving through the postcolonial door examines the breadth and depth of reconciliation; rights and recognition focuses on section 35 of Canada’s Constitution and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP); governance in the post-Indian Act world includes the pursuit of strong and appropriate institutions, structures and procedures of governance; building business relationships and the duty to consult discusses rights and support for Nation building and when unrecognized results in negative social and economic consequences for everyone; and, restoring balance, correcting injustices, and keeping vigilant is premised on diversity and promoting an inclusive society. From Where I Stand is based on Jody Wilson-Raybould’s speeches, lectures, committee evidence, and other writings on Indigenous issues as BC Regional Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Minister of Justice and Attorney General, framing a course correction for both government and Indigenous Peoples. The focus of Jody Wilson-Raybould’s material is on Nation rebuilding, the challenge of reconciliation and Indigenous empowerment, to address Canada’s colonial legacy and to build a future where Indigenous Rights are recognized, respected and fully implemented. From Where I Stand contributes to the process of reconciliation for individuals, government, businesses, organizations and civil society along with Indigenous Peoples and their governments to work together to translate discussions and conversations into wellbeing, balance and action by listening, learning and reflecting.  The changes that reconciliation bring will be significant and touch all aspects of life, government decision-making, economies, education, justice and our environment.

Because of differing historical, political, and structural influences, the two countries have arrived at two very different responses to the harms caused by assimilative education. At the end of the nineteenth century, Indigenous boarding schools were touted as the means for solving the “Indian problem” in both the United States and Canada. With the goal of permanently transforming Indigenous young people into Europeanized colonial subjects, the schools were ultimately a means for eliminating Indigenous communities as obstacles to land acquisition, resource extraction, and nation-building. Andrew Woolford analyzes the formulation of the “Indian problem” as a policy concern in the United States and Canada and examines how the “solution” of Indigenous boarding schools was implemented in Manitoba and New Mexico through complex chains that included multiple government offices with a variety of staffs, Indigenous peoples, and even nonhuman actors such as poverty, disease, and space. The genocidal project inherent in these boarding schools, however, did not unfold in either nation without diversion, resistance, and unintended consequences.

Written by Maurice Switzer, with coloured drawings by Charley Hebert, the book offers students and educators a brief look at the history of treaties from the Anishinabek perspective. The Anishinabek Nation includes Algonquin, Delaware (Lenape), Mississauga, Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi. The book begins with a brief overview of Anishinabek cultural history and worldview. A prediction about the newcomers comes to pass as the people assist these newcomers with food, medicines, and survival techniques. The story continues as the period of peaceful co-existence comes to an end when competition between the French and English is decided during the Seven Year's War. As the chronological history is explained, readers are introduced to Pontiac, the Royal Proclamation, the Treaty of Niagara, and the significance of treaty wampum belts such as the “Covenant Chain” and the Twenty-four Nations Belts.  Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois) history documents the exchange of the Covenant Chain Belt with the Dutch, British, and the Americans. Tecumseh, the American Revolution, Indian Territory, the Treaty of Grenville, the War of 1812, and the Robinson Huron and Robinson Superior Treaties are topics covered in We Are All Treaty People. Interspersed throughout these sections are maps, reproductions of treaties, and illustrations of wampum belts. The text moves on to the creation of reserves, land rights issues, the spirit and intent of treaties, the development of legislation called the Indian Act, the creation of residential schools, the 1969 White Paper, the growth of First Nations leadership, and the creation of the Assembly of First Nations. The final pages discuss the three crucial events in the 1990s: Oka, Gustafsen Lake, and Ipperwash. The result of these and other crucial events was the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) and the Ipperwash Inquiry. RCAP recommendations reference the importance of the treaty relationship between First Nations and all Canadian citizens. This book's concise retelling of Anishinabek history makes it an excellent resource for schools and libraries.
