Quite well written and comprehensive book on Canada’s First Nations’ history since the earliest records/ oral legends, through the first European contact, until the latest court battles of the 20th and 21st century. Really liked the fact that the author put a lot of emphasis on the economic relations between the Indians and new settlers, but was losing my interest at the descriptions of the battles and wars.

Would recommend it to all interested in First Nations history or in North American history in general.… (meer)
