Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Six-Nations Indians in Canada It is proper to observe that the bulk of the Oneidas (a small section, however, actively allying themselves with the Colonial interest) and a respectable portion of the Tuscaroras remained neutral in the uprising which proved so disastrous to the tribes, as a whole. No cheerless prospect of desolated homes stretched itself before these; no mocking memories of familiar, gladsome haunts cruelly burdened these. No such melancholy guerdon as expatriation had been earned no potion formed of the lees of broken fortunes had to be drained, by these.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talking Back to the Indian Act is a comprehensive "how-to" guide for engaging with primary source documents. The intent of the book is to encourage readers to develop the skills necessary to converse with primary sources in more refined and profound ways. As a piece of legislation that is central to Canada's relationship with Indigenous peoples and communities, and one that has undergone many amendments, the Indian Act is uniquely positioned to act as a vehicle for this kind of focused reading. Through an analysis of thirty-five sources pertaining to the Indian Act--addressing governance, gender, enfranchisement, and land--the authors provide readers with a much better understanding of this pivotal piece of legislation, as well as insight into the dynamics involved in its creation and maintenance.

Download or read book Sacred Feathers written by Donald B. Smith and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the ground on which Canada’s largest metropolitan centre now stands was purchased by the British from the Mississauga Indians for a payment that in the end amounted to ten shillings. Sacred Feathers (1802–1856), or Peter Jones, as he became known in English, grew up hearing countless stories of the treachery in those negotiations, early lessons in the need for Indian vigilance in preserving their land and their rights. Donald B. Smith’s biography of this remarkable Ojibwa leader shows how well those early lessons were learned and how Jones used them to advance the welfare of his people. A groundbreaking book, Sacred Feathers was one of the first biographies of a Canadian Aboriginal to be based on his own writings – drawing on Jones’s letters, diaries, sermons, and his history of the Ojibwas – and the first modern account of the Mississauga Indians. As summarized by M.T. Kelly in Saturday Night when the book was first published in 1988, “This biography achieves something remarkable. Peter Jones emerges from its pages alive. We don’t merely understand him by the book’s end: we know him.”
