Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a missing chapter in the narrative of Canada’s Indigenous peoples—the story of the Métis Nation, a new Indigenous people descended from both First Nations and Europeans Their story begins in the last decade of the eighteenth century in the Canadian North-West. Within twenty years the Métis proclaimed themselves a nation and won their first battle. Within forty years they were famous throughout North America for their military skills, their nomadic life and their buffalo hunts. The Métis Nation didn’t just drift slowly into the Canadian consciousness in the early 1800s; it burst onto the scene fully formed. The Métis were flamboyant, defiant, loud and definitely not noble savages. They were nomads with a very different way of being in the world—always on the move, very much in the moment, passionate and fierce. They were romantics and visionaries with big dreams. They battled continuously—for recognition, for their lands and for their rights and freedoms. In 1870 and 1885, led by the iconic Louis Riel, they fought back when Canada took their lands. These acts of resistance became defining moments in Canadian history, with implications that reverberate to this day: Western alienation, Indigenous rights and the French/English divide. After being defeated at the Battle of Batoche in 1885, the Métis lived in hiding for twenty years. But early in the twentieth century, they determined to hide no more and began a long, successful fight back into the Canadian consciousness. The Métis people are now recognized in Canada as a distinct Indigenous nation. Written by the great-grandniece of Louis Riel, this popular and engaging history of “forgotten people” tells the story up to the present era of national reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. 2019 marks the 175th anniversary of Louis Riel’s birthday (October 22, 1844)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Canada's Changing North was first published in 1971, it quickly became a popular and reliable overview of the geography and culture of the Canadian North. In the three decades since it first appeared, great changes have occurred in this huge region that makes up two thirds of Canada's total area. This revised and expanded edition provides a new generation with a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the Canadian North and outlines how this region has become increasingly integrated into both the Canadian national fabric and the world.Among the many recent developments explored in Canada's Changing North is the legal recognition of aboriginal rights by the Canadian state, which has led directly to significant increases in their political and economic power. It also examines how economic development, which has long focused on non-renewable natural resources, particularly minerals, has grown to an enormous scale. Development of arctic oil and gas, which hinges on world supplies and national and international politics, has meant major changes across the North. Some of the new national parks in the Canadian North are already under threat from mineral development. Northern tourism has made it possible for a wide variety of affluent visitors to visit hitherto remote areas, affecting the ecology. The final selection, on northern challenges, discusses critical issues such as the impact of climatic change, the social needs (e.g. housing, education) of a rapidly increasing aboriginal population, environmental protection of unique regions, and defence of Arctic sovereignty. Of the sixty-two readings in this edition, forty-one are new.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian North-West: Its History and Troubles, From the Early Days of the Fur-Trade the Era of the Railway and the Settler; With Incidents of Travel in Tum Region, and the Narrative of Three Insurrections "No fabled land of joy and song is this That lieth in the glow of eventide; Not sung by bards of old in minstrel strain, Yet he who reads its history shall learn Of doughty deeds well worth all knightly fame. It is a land of rivers flowing free, Lake-mirrored mountains, rising proud and stem, A land of spreading prairies ocean wide, Where harsh sounds slumber in the hush of gloom, And peace hath brooded with outstretched wings. And here a mighty people shall arise, A peopled nurtured in full liberty; Yet, not forgetful of the mother land, Who scans with kindly eye her child's career, Wafting a blessing o'er the mighty sea. Such be thy future; 0, thou land of hope, Where, in the fear of God and love of home, Thy people shall increase 0, may thy soil Bear many a thinker, many a man of might, Many a statesman fitted to control, Many a hero, fitted to command. Such may thy future be - not great alone, In never-sated commerce, - rather great In all that welds a people heart to heart; Among thy sons may many a leader spring, By whom the ship of State well piloted, Thy haven of wide Empire thou may st reach, An empire stretching from the western wave To where the rosy dawn enflames the seas," About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian North-West Many pamphlets and descriptive letters have been written by men with able pens, who have visit ed this country for the purpose of giving reliable information to those who may have a desire to seek fresh fields and pastures new, but who have neither the means nor the time to spare to see it for themselves and make a choice of locality, and the result is that so much satisfactory evidence of this kind is now available that it might be suppos ed that there could be no more to write and little more to learn of the resources of the great Cana dian North - west. 'but as all do not see with the same eyes, each succeeding description may still contain some new features and be read with fresh interest, and with this idea I take up my pen to jot down my opinion of the country as a field for immigration and investment.
