I wish I was there to fight with the Indians. Our society. I feel that they got a raw deal. Even today they live in poverty because of us. The Muslims have more rights then they do. as well as other nationalities. ( ) Poetic names such as Assiniboine, Crowfoot, Crowchild, Blackfoot, Shaganappi, Deerfoot, Huron or Algonquin remind us of Canada history as it relates to North American aboriginals (Indians); nowhere more so than in central Canada where close to 50% of present aboriginals lives. For many people today, not much is signified by those names. But only recently, some of our grandfathers have seen original aboriginal life style, traded goods with them, sometimes feared them. This recent history is vividly reminded to us by brief and simple narrative of Holly Quan in Native Chiefs, and Famous Métis. The book talks of the difficult period when hunter-gatherer lifestyle – tough and free – was made finally impossible in North America by the clash of virtually stone-age society with modern society. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

These inspiring true stories illuminate the courage and wisdom of five 19th-century Native leaders and famous Métis who fought against impossible odds to preserve the culture and rights of their people. The visionary Cree leader Big Bear sought peace and a better life, only to be hunted mercilessly and imprisoned unjustly. Jerry Potts, the legendary North West Mounted Police guide and interpreter, helped smash the whisky trade and negotiate treaties. Persevering through sorrow and defeat, brave and steadfast men such as these left a lasting mark on Aboriginal culture and the history of western Canada. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
