    af Victor P. Lytwyn
    308,95 kr.

    The original people of the Hudson Bay lowlands were among the first Aboriginal peoples in northwestern North America to come into contact with Europeans.

    In Night Spirits, the survivors, including those who were children at the time of the move, as well as the few remaining elders, recount their stories. They offer a stark and brutally honest account of the near-destruction of the Sayisi Dene, and their struggle to reclaim their lives. It is a dark story, told in hope.

    Among Anglo-Canadian fur traders of the early nineteenth century, George Nelson stands out for his interest in the life and ways of the native people he encountered. Nelson kept a letter-journal, addressed to his father, in which he related his observations of Cree and Northern Ojibwa religion and myth. This document is reproduced here for the first time.

  • - Epidemics in the Petit Nord, 1670 to 1846
    af Paul Hackett
    230,95 - 878,95 kr.

    Although new diseases had first arrived in the New World in the 16th century, by the end of the 17th century shorter transoceanic travel time meant that a far greater number of diseases survived the journey from Europe and were still able to infect new communities. Historical geographer Paul Hackett meticulously traces the diffusion of these diseases from Europe through central Canada to the West.

  • - The Canadian Government and the Residential School System
    af John S. Milloy
    308,95 - 928,95 kr.

    With the conclusion of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, more Canadians than ever are aware of the ugly history of Canada's residential schools. Nearly twenty years earlier, John Milloy's A National Crime provided a groundbreaking history of the schools that exposed details of the system to thousands of readers. This is a timely reissue of A National Crime.
