Download or read book We Were Not the Savages 3rd Edition First Nations History written by Daniel N. Paul and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-12T00:00:00Z with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We Were Not the Savages … is unique, in chronological scope and in the story it tells, covering the last three centuries of Mi’kmaq history in detail. Prior to the appearance of this book it was common for historians to downplay or even deny the violence inflicted on the Mi’kmaq people by European and Euro-American colonizers. This work, more than any other piece of scholarly production, has headed off that consensus at a pass. Scalp-bounty policies are now recognized as a historical problem worthy of investigation. The book will also be of particular interest to readers in the United States for a variety of reasons. First, the early history of colonization in the Maritimes is closely tied to the history of the colonies that became the United States, and as late as the 1750s New England’s political leaders played a prominent role in directing the course of colonial affairs on Cape Breton Island and Nova Scotia. ... Second, the chapters on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries provide a detailed and much needed basis of comparison for anyone seeking to understand the similarities and contrasts between the U.S. and Canada on questions of “Indian Affairs.” And finally, it is important to recognize that we have far too few histories written by Native American authors—very few indeed that cover as extensive a time span as this book does.” — Geoffrey Plank, Associate Professor of History, University of Cincinnati “Having, over the years ... read most of the sources you cite in your book, I had long ago arrived at the same conclusion you have. Certainly, white intrusions everywhere in the world have been disastrous for indigenous peoples.” — Allison Mitcham, Professor Emeritus, University of Moncton “Count me in too, among your book’s advocates... [it] knocks the smile off Englishmen who claim their colonial presence among Indians was ‘better’ than that of the Spanish.” — C. Blue Clark, Interim Director, Native American Legal Center, Oklahoma City “We Were Not the Savages is a provocative and excellent book.... It is brave, insightful, unflinching and above all honest. And, most important, it greatly enhances our positive images of Amerindians.” — Barry Jean Ancelet, University of Louisiana “Reading the pages of this book, continually affirms for me, how good it is to be a Mi’kmaq. I so wish that my father was still living. Wouldn’t he be so proud that such a book was available. I also wish that this history book was in existence years ago, a book that now empowers me and fills me with great pride to be a Mi’kmaq.” — Sister Dorothy Moore, Prominent Mi’kmaq Educator This updated edition incorporates Daniel Paul’s ongoing research. It clearly and profoundly shows that the horrors of history still rain upon the First Nations people of the present. DANIEL PAUL is an ardent spokesperson and activist for human rights. He holds, among many awards, an honorary degree in Letters, Université Sainte-Anne, Church Point, Nova Scotia. He is a member of the Order of Canada and a member of the Order of Nova Scotia.

Download or read book The Canadian Kingdom written by D. Michael Jackson and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2018-04-14 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integral part of Canada’s political culture, the constitutional monarchy has evolved over the 150 years since Confederation to become a uniquely Canadian institution. Canada inherited the constitutional monarchy from Britain even before Confederation in 1867. In the 150 years since then, the Crown has shaped, and been shaped by, Canada’s achievement of independence, its robust federalism, the unique identity of Quebec, and its relationship with Indigenous peoples. What has this “Canadian Crown” contributed to the Canada of the twenty-first century? How is this historic yet resilient institution perceived today? The essays in this book respond to these questions from a variety of perspectives, encompassing the arts, the role of the vice-regal representatives, the Indigenous peoples, and the contemporary position of the monarch. In discussing whether there is a distinctly Canadian monarchy, the authors look beyond Canada’s borders, too, and explore how Canada’s development has influenced other Commonwealth realms.
