Summary:
"This book sets the record straight about what has happened since Europeans invaded
Mi
'kmaw lands in the 17th century. For thousands of years prior to the European invasion, the
Mi
'kmaq had lived healthy lives in harmony with nature in the land they called
Mi
'kma'ki. When the Europeans arrived, they were welcomed and sustained by the
Mi
'kmaq. Despite this
Mi
'kmaw hospitality, over the next three centuries, their language, their culture, their way of life were systematically ravaged by the newcomers. The murderous savagery of British scalp proclamations, starvation, malnutrition and Canada's Indian residential and day schools all but wiped out the
Mi
'kmaq. Yet the
Mi
'kmaq survived and today stand defending the land, the water and nature's bounty from the European way of life, which threatens the natural world that we need to survive. Since the
first
edition was published in 1993, Daniel Paul's ongoing research has continued to confront the mainstram record of Canadian settler colonialism to reveal that the mistreatment of Indigenous People is not confined to the past. This 4th edition catalogues not only the historical tragedy but also the ongoing attempts to silence the
Mi
'kmaq and other Indigenous Peoples. Paul's work continues to give the
Mi
'kmaq a voice that must be heard." --Back cover.
