This study of the colonial invasion of an Indigenous community in Canada highlights Indigenous resistance and resurgence in the face of historical racism. The study draws on archival sources including personal papers, newspapers, travel writing, legal records, government reports, judicial sources, and the records of the Department of Indian Affairs. Touching on factors such as the Indian Act, private property, and coercive assimilation, the book sheds light on Indigenous and French colonial land practices. B&w illustrations and maps are included. The author teaches history and indigenous studies at the University of Ottawa. Annotation ©2021 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
