Summary:
"
Indigenous
activism put small-town northern
Ontario
on the map in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Kenora
,
Ontario
, was home to a four-hundred-person march, popularly called 'Canada's First Civil Rights March,' and a two-month-long armed occupation of a small lakefront park within a nine year span. Canada's 'Other Red Scare' shows how important it is to link the local and the global to broaden narratives of resistance in the 1960s; it is a history not of isolated events closed off from the present but of decolonization as a continuing process. Scott Rutherford explores with rigour and sensitivity the
Indigenous
political protest and
social
struggle that took place in Northwestern
Ontario
and Treaty 3 territory from 1965 to 1974. Drawing on archival documents, media coverage, published interviews, memoirs and
social
movement literature, as well as his own lived experience as a settler growing up in
Kenora
, he reconstructs a period of turbulent protest and the responses it provoked, from support to disbelief to outright hostility.
Indigenous
organizers advocated for a wide range of issues, from better employment opportunities to the recognition of nationhood by using such tactics as marches, cultural production, community organizing, journalism, and armed occupation. They drew inspiration from global currents from black American freedom movements to Third World decolonization to challenge the inequalities and racial logics that shaped settler-colonialism and daily life in
Kenora
. Accessible and wide-reaching, Canada's Other Red Scare makes the case that
Indigenous
political protest during this period should be thought of as both local and transnational, an urgent exercise in confronting the experience of settler-colonialism in places and moments of protest, when its logic and acts of dispossession are held up like a mirror."--From publisher.
