Indigenous History & Culture in Canada

Indigenous languages, storytelling and oral traditions, and cultural and religious traditions are discussed, as well as the negative effects of colonial policies imposed on Indigenous communities. Indigenous resistance and rebuilding efforts further the narrative, as well as biographies of prominent Indigenous figures in history. In modern times, the book discusses the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), Indigenous representation in arts and media, and provides insights into modern political movements. 

Sections in this all-new volume include:

• Precontact Indigenous Traditions and History
• Historical Context and Documents
• Modern Culture and Issues

The information is enhanced by the inclusion of primary documents, statistics and infographics, and useful maps. A glossary, chronology, bibliography, and mediagraphy round out the content.
