The Elders consistently report that the treaty as they understood it was a peace treaty, not a surrender of land, and that they had agreed to \"share\" the land with the white newcomers in exchange for resources to establish new economies - education, medical assistance, and annuity payments. The book provides both a historical overview of Treaty 7 and an analysis of the literature on treaties generally and Treaty 7 specifically. It makes clear that different agendas, different languages, and different world views affected each side's interpretation of events. This review of the events and interpretations surrounding Treaty 7 takes place at a time when Aboriginal and Indigenous peoples all over the world are re-evaluating their relationships with imperial powers.

Analyzing the history of Indian treaty relations with the United States, Vine Deloria presents population and land ownership information to support his argument that many Indian tribes have more impressive landholdings than some small members of the United Nations. Yet American Indians are not even accorded status within the UN's trust territories recognition process. Behind the Trail of Broken Treaties anticipates recent events as history comes full circle, making the book imperative reading for anyone wishing to understand the background of the movement of American Indians onto the world political stage. In the quarter century since this book was written, Indian nations have taken great strides in demonstrating their claims to recognized nationhood. Deloria and David E. Wilkins, Behind the Trail of Broken Treaties highlights the historical events that helped bring these changes to fruition. At the conclusion of Behind the Trail of Broken Treaties, Deloria states: \"The recommendations made in the Twenty Points and the justification for such a change as articulated in the book may well come to pass in our lifetime.\" Now we are seeing his statement come true.","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167521484963,"sku":"kyg1789916456993","price":20.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/behind-the-trail-of-broken-treaties_1.jpg?v=1789916461"},{"product_id":"seeing-red-a-history-of-natives-in-canadian-newspapers","title":"Seeing Red: A History of Natives in Canadian Newspapers","description":"Seeing Red: A History of Natives in Canadian Newspapers is a groundbreaking study of how Canadian English-language newspapers have portrayed Aboriginal peoples from 1869 to the present day.

The authors uncover overwhelming evidence that the colonial imaginary not only thrives, but dominates depictions of Aboriginal peoples in mainstream newspapers. The issue of terminology and usage used by the authors is often provocative such as the chapter heading about First Nations women and Bill C31. The authors use the terms princess and squaw in their effort to point out the colonial mindset of the media under study. Unfortunately the authors insist on using the term Aboriginals as a noun throughout the book.

Toronto Star investigative reporter Peter Edwards details the events that led to the tragedy at Ipperwash located along Lake Huron in southwestern Ontario. The book reveals what led up to the shooting of Dudley George, the role of the Ontario government premier Mike Harris, and the actions of the Ontario Provincial Police. The 38-year-old Ojibwe man supported the people of Stoney Point as they attempted to pressure the federal government into returning expropriated land belonging to the First Nation. The Native people in the provincial park were unarmed, and despite a police policy of negotiation, the OPP were ordered to remove the Indians from the park. Under cover of darkness, the OPP Tactics and Rescue Squad (TRU) attacked the peaceful group of Elders, women, children, and young men. The result was the death of Dudley George, and the beating of others. The events at Ipperwash are recounted in narrative-style with direct quotes from the people involved. Two chapters are devoted to background information that set the historical context and recount the basis for the Stoney Point land claim. In an effort to understand the events that led to Dudley's murder, the George family has called repeatedly for an official inquiry. Unfortunately, the Ontario premier is the person who must call for the inquiry. Mike Harris and his government officials are believed by the author to be the source for the tragic events six years ago. Harris continues to refuse to call an inquiry. In an attempt to pressure Harris, the George family launched a civil court action against the premier and the OPP. The author describes in meticulous detail the various methods used by Harris and his legal team to prevent the civil action from proceeding. The George family maintains that they will stop their lawsuit if the premiere will only call an inquiry into Dudley's death. Author Peter Edwards has set out the events in chronological order. Throughout the book he seeks explanations for police and government actions in dealing with the peaceful protest for the return of First Nation's land. He has managed to locate a substantial amount of government documents that place the premier of Ontario at the heart of the action. He documents the amount of money the police action consumed, and the amount of money Ontario taxpayers have contributed to the premier's legal defense in stalling the George family lawsuit. In the wake of the Walkerton Inquiry, the George family, the Stoney Point people, and the people of Ontario deserve to know the truth about the killing of Dudley George through an official inquiry.

Why should Canada’s original inhabitants have to ask for rights to what was their land when non-Aboriginal people first arrived? The question lurks behind every court judgment on Indigenous rights, every demand that treaty obligations be fulfilled, and every land-claims negotiation. Addressing these questions has occupied anthropologist Michael Asch for nearly thirty years.

The author is a Professor and Law Foundation Chair in Aboriginal Justice at the University of Victoria. He is also a member of the Cape Croker First Nation. He brings traditional stories and personal memories of his grandparents to the discussion of the Canadian legal system. His goal is to promote a system of justice that incorporates and respects First Nations laws and governance models. Weaving traditional Ojibwe stories and Canadian case law into a political commentary Borrows explores the means of assisting Canada in overcoming its colonial past. Borrows argues that Canada and First Nations can coexist in a society that integrates two competing worldviews into a renewed vision of Canada's constitution. He uses numerous examples of Ojibwe teachings and stories as well as appropriating the Six Nations example of the Two-Row Wampum. The author claims that his Ojibwe ancestors participated in Two-Row Wampum negotiations at Niagara with the British and Six Nations. Topics include democracy and First Nations, the constitution, treaties and land title in British Columbia, and the rule of law. Some readers may find his thesis promotes assimilation for First Nations into the Canadian system, and others may find his views stimulating. Anyone interested in First Nations law, the Canadian constitution, and Native-White relations will find this book a thought-provoking addition to Indigenous law resources.","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167582171299,"sku":"auq1789917078879","price":27.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/recovering-canada-pb_1.jpg?v=1789917082"},{"product_id":"the-power-of-place-the-problem-of-time-aboriginal-identity-and-historical-consciousness-in-the-cauld","title":"The Power of Place, The Problem of Time: Aboriginal Identity and Historical Consciousness in the Cauldron of Colonialism","description":"In The Power of Place, the Problem of Time: Aboriginal Identity and Historical Consciousness in the Cauldron of Colonialism, Keith Thor Carlson re-thinks the history of Native-newcomer relations from the unique perspective of a classically trained historian who has spent nearly two decades living, working, and talking with the St¾:l§ peoples.

Over the years the Canadian war effort grows with each new world conflict. This situation has led to an increase in the misuse of First Nations lands by the Canadian government. In this case study of the Canadian military's appropriation of reserve land, the author, P. Whitney Lackenbauer, recounts the specific instances of loss of Aboriginal land. Beginning with the First World War, the Canadian government searched for locations in British Columbia and on the Sarcee Reserve. During the Second World War, the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan identified land at Six Nation and Tyendinaga as sites for training. More disturbing was the loss of 2000 acres of land at Stony Point in Southern Ontario when the government took action to create Camp Ipperwash from the Chippewa community. During the Cold War, land at Cold Lake, Alberta was used as the Primrose Lake Air Weapons Range. This area around Cold Lake was recognized as the traditional lands of the Dene Soun'line and Cree. In fact the area overlapped the Treaty 6, Treaty 8, and Treaty 10 regions of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The author examines the Oka Crisis and Ipperwash in the final chapters. This original research includes an extensive index and bibliography and an important list of cases in which the Canadian Military formally acquired Indian Reserve lands.

Using the official transcripts from Canada's Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) as the basis of his work, Schouls attempts to establish a framework in which the relation between Aboriginal identity, pluralist theory and Aboriginal self-government can be understood. The book challenges contemporary assumptions that Aboriginal identity is framed in terms of cultural and national traits, and that the desire for Aboriginal self-government is an attempt to preserve such traits. Schouls argues that this approach offers an incomplete understanding of the politics of Aboriginal self-government and instead self-government is better understood when an ôidentificationö perspective on Aboriginal identity is utilized. Self-government. Schouls argues, is not about preserving cultural and national differences but about equalizing current imbalances in power to allow Aboriginals to construct their own identities. This argument is presented in relation to three sets of questions: the first set concerns questions of Aboriginal identity; the second, Aboriginal justification and intent for self-government; and the third, the limitations on Aboriginal political power. In focusing on relational pluralism, this work offers an important perspective to existing theoretical approaches to Aboriginal self-government. Tim Schouls teaches and conducts research in Canadian politics, Aboriginal governance issues and political theory at both the University of British Columbia and Capilano College. Shifting Boundaries will appeal to scholars, students and policy analysts interested in First Nations governance, cultural studies, political theory, nationalism studies and constitutional theory.

There are four facts that distinguish this unique relationship: distinctive cultures of First Nations; occupation of specific territories prior to contact; sovereign power over these territories; and participation in treaty-making with the Crown. These four factors constitute Indigenous difference. In the Canadian constitutional context, Macklem argues that these differences do not challenge the ideal of equality. The protection of these differences within the constitution promotes equality and maintains the ideal of justice.

This work is aimed at three primary constituencies - social scientists, policy makers and Aboriginal communities - and using recent research findings, argues for greater cooperation among these groups. Such collaboration will result in more accurate and reflective research, thus resulting in more appropriate initiatives for Aboriginal people in Canada, and eventually, positive social development within Aboriginal communities. The contributors argue that the first step toward achieving this positive social development is discussing and sharing research agendas, facilitating data access and assisting in analysis through mutual critique and review. This book is divided into four parts: the first presents a theoretical model that places communities at the center of scientific inquiry; the second shows how our understanding of who is Aboriginal, and how we define First Nations peoples, is fragile; the third demonstrates how this fragility affects policy making; and the final section looks at issues of Aboriginal development, inequality and community capacity. Notably, the final section of this work explains Aboriginal inequality with reference to the United Nations Human Development Index while also exploring intra-Aboriginal inequality. Also of interest is the examination of the impact of Aboriginal languages, and the erosion of these languages, on socio-economic conditions.

It is a quiet revolution, largely unnoticed in society at large. But it is profoundly important. From High Plains states and Prairie Provinces to southwestern deserts, from Mississippi and Oklahoma to the northwest coast of the continent, Native peoples are reclaiming their right to govern themselves and to shape their future in their own ways. Challenging more than a century of colonial controls, they are addressing severe social problems, building sustainable economies, and reinvigorating Indigenous cultures. In effect, they are rebuilding their nations according to their own diverse and often innovative designs. Produced by the Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy at the University of Arizona and the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, this book traces the contours of that revolution as Native nations turn the dream of self-determination into a practical reality. Part report, part analysis, part how-to manual for Native leaders, it discusses strategies for governance and community and economic development being employed by American Indian nations and First Nations in Canada as they move to assert greater control over their own affairs. Rebuilding Native Nations provides guidelines for creating new governance structures, rewriting constitutions, building justice systems, launching nation-owned enterprises, encouraging citizen entrepreneurs, developing new relationships with non-Native governments, and confronting the crippling legacies of colonialism.

Rice developed this manual through a process while teaching Aboriginal spirituality and worldview in the Department of Native Studies at the University of Sudbury. He draws on teachings provided by two influential Elders: Art Solomon and Chief Jacob Thomas. These two Elders provide the core understandings which are supplemented by the works and teachings of other spiritual advisors. The work of Jim Dumont provides the organizing formula for the book by detailing the four basic teachings of the four directions encompassing the circle of life. The first section is the Eastern Door which includes the cosmology, vision, beliefs and values of the Seeing Path. The Southern Door introduces Ways of Relating which include environment, interactions between Aboriginal Peoples and others, the cycle of life, time, mathematics, and numbers. The third section is the Western Door incorporating the Coming to Knowledge that includes the Elders, the learning path, and Aboriginal Knowledge. The final section is the Northern Door for the Ways of Doing that encompass the ceremonies, healing, prayer and life ways.

The authors also examine the implications for mainstream political involvement such as voting by Aboriginal People residing in Winnipeg. The book really focuses on solutions and limits it coverage. In this way other issues such as street gangs, the criminal justice system and social service system are not considered. The authors conducted interviews with 26 Aboriginal community development workers and their voices clearly indicate that Aboriginal People can create their own strategies for community development solutions. Their approach is holistic and based firmly within Aboriginal Peoples cultural and healing traditions. Despite the problems associated with the large population of First Nations and Metis people in the inner-city of Winnipeg, the book suggests that urban Aboriginal People are capable of developing solutions to urban inner-city concerns.

This work outlines the Canadian government's employment of various bureaucratic tools, and accounting mechanisms more specifically, to deprive First Nations (Indians and Inuit) of their land, resources and control of their daily lives. The authors argue that cultural survival for Indigenous Canadians, contrary to popular opinion, is in fact an economic battle fought within their own communities against government bureaucracy and transnational resource extraction companies. The battle is primarily against the accounting procedures used by such bodies to justify the continued exploitation of Indigenous people and their resources in the interest of economic profit. This book outlines the historical development of Canadian governmental policy toward Aboriginals covering the Joint Committee of 1946, the government's infamous White Paper, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal People's (RCAP) and the Department of Indian Affairs under Duncan Scott. The role of bureaucrat, accountant, and poet is explored in the chapter about Duncan Campbell Scott who served the Canadian government from 1906 to 1932 in a position of power in the Indian Department. During his years in the department, Scott served as Superintendent of Indian Education then as Superintendent of Indian Affairs. During these years, Scott had direct influence over residential schools, and Indian lands and trusts. A number of relevant case studies are also examined, including a look at the Akwesasne Mohawks, the James Bay Project, the Oka standoff and the Delgamuukw decision of 1997. This book also outlines the development of Indigenous resistance movements throughout the 1990's and contains a number of interesting comparisons between Aboriginal Canadians and the struggles of other indigenous groups worldwide such as the Jewish during the Holocaust and the Chiapas uprising in Mexico. Dean Neu is the Future Fund Professor of Accounting at the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary. His work as an accounting academic and activist attempts to reveal accounting as a key element in shaping public policy and mediating between citizens and government. Richard Therrien is a poet, researcher, ghost-writer and landscape labourer. His articles and reviews have been published in a number of magazines and journals.

Patricia Monture-Angus is a noted Mohawk legal scholar and activist. Her most recent book details her personal argument for First Nations' independence rather than self-government. The author's experiences as a law professor combined with personal discovery of her Haudenosaunee culture have served to influence her current position. She makes her arguments in a readable and accessible style. The book begins by explaining her background and what forces have brought her to this current thinking. Seven chapters allow for development of her argument. Beginning with a search for a much-needed definition of self-determination, the first chapter examines the meaning and context of First Nations and their search true governance. Chapter two discusses the theoretical foundations and the challenge of Aboriginal Rights in Canada. The importance of legal decisions and their precedents is explored in the next three chapters. Cases prior to 1990 demonstrate the way judicial decisions serve to enhance the Crown's ability to deny responsibility. Legal cases include St. Catherines Milling (1888), Calder 1973), Guerin (1984), Sparrow (1990), and Delgamuukw (1998). The author also discusses the issues of rights, the Charter, and women's rights (Lavell and Bedard 1974). In rejecting the colonialism associated with the Indian Act, the author rejects the notion that self-government can be achieved through Indian Act band councils and the Assembly of First Nations. Her arguments offer a challenge as well as stimulating reading for anyone interested in Native issues, sovereignty, self-government, and Canadian politics.","brand":"Fernwood Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48167714914467,"sku":"cxi1789918070503","price":14.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/7595\/8435\/files\/journeying-forward_1.jpg?v=1789918074"},{"product_id":"iroquois-diplomacy-on-the-early-american-frontier","title":"Iroquois Diplomacy on the Early American Frontier","description":"Iroquois Diplomacy on the Early American Frontier is one of the titles in The Penguin Library of American Indian History written by Timothy Shannon, associate professor of history at Gettysburg College.

Historic moments are always uncomfortable, Saul writes in this impassioned argument, calling on all of us to embrace and support the comeback of Aboriginal peoples. This, he says, is the great issue of our time--the most important missing piece in the building of Canada. The events that began late in 2012 with the Idle No More movement were not just a rough patch in Aboriginal relations with the rest of Canada. What is happening today between First Nation and non-First Nations is not about guilt or sympathy or failure or romanticization of the past. It is about citizens' rights. It is about rebuilding relationships that were central to the creation of Canada. These relationships are just as important to its continued existence. The centrality of Aboriginal issues and peoples has the potential to open up a more creative way of imagining ourselves and a more honest narrative for Canada. Wide in scope but piercing in detail, The Comeback presents a powerful portrait of modern First Nations life in Canada illustrated by a remarkable selection of letters, speeches, and writings by Aboriginal leaders and thinkers, showcasing the extraordinarily rich, moving, and stable Indigenous points of view across the centuries. The volume offers a readable and accessible introduction to current issues as well as interpretations of events passed.
