"A Canadian bestseller and winner of the 2016 Canadian Historical Association Aboriginal History Book Prize, Unsettling Canada is a landmark text built on a unique collaboration between two First Nations leaders. Arthur Manuel (1951-2017) was one of the most forceful advocates for Indigenous title and rights in Canada; Grand Chief Ron Derrickson, one of the most successful Indigenous businessmen in the country. Together, they bring a fresh perspective and bold new ideas to Canada's most glaring piece of unfinished business: the place of Indigenous peoples within the country's political and economic space. This vital second edition features a foreword by award-winning activist Naomi Klein and an all-new chapter co-authored by law professor Nicole Schabus and Manuel's son, Ska7cis, honouring the multi-generational legacy of the Manuel family's work."

"The Jesuit missionaries in New France have been variously portrayed as devout Catholics willing to die for their faith or as uncompromising zealots who perpetrated cultural genocide on Indigenous peoples. In Mark Bourrie鈥檚 book Crosses in the Sky, Jean de Br茅beuf emerges as both of these things 鈥� and as an insecure, lonely man held in the thrall of a fundamentalist interpretation of Catholicism that demanded a harvest of souls and that fetishized pain and death.

Yet Crosses in the Sky is not only, or even primarily, a biography of Br茅beuf. As Bourrie states in his introduction, the book is 鈥渕eant to explain what happened when troubled Europe, ripped by civil and religious strife, collided with Indigenous nations that had never had to cope with rapid technological change and epidemics.鈥� Bourrie鈥檚 colloquial writing style and storytelling skill make Crosses in the Sky accessible to a nonacademic audience. But be warned: This is not an easy read. It鈥檚 a saga of suffering and sorrow, punctuated by moments of heroism and bouts of religious fanaticism, that ends in tragedy for all involved."

"In Making Native Space, Cole Harris describes how settlers displaced Aboriginal people from their land in British Columbia, painstakingly documenting the creation of Indian reserves in the province from the 1830s to 1938. Informed by Frantz Fanon, Edward Said, Michel Foucault, and E.P. Thompson, Harris develops from this dense historical foundation a spatial perspective on colonialism, skillfully and meticulously transforming the historical documents from the standard unidimensional colonial narrative into a multidimensional story that vividly fills both time and space."

"When Garnet Raven was three years old, he was taken from his home on an Ojibway Indian reserve and placed in a series of foster homes. Having reached his mid-teens, he escapes at the first available opportunity, only to find himself cast adrift on the streets of the big city.

Having skirted the urban underbelly once too often by age 20, he finds himself thrown in jail. While there, he gets a surprise letter from his long-forgotten native family.

The sudden communication from his past spurs him to return to the reserve following his release from jail. Deciding to stay awhile, his life is changed completely as he comes to discover his sense of place, and of self. While on the reserve, Garnet is initiated into the ways of the Ojibway--both ancient and modern--by Keeper, a friend of his grandfather, and last fount of history about his people's ways.

By turns funny, poignant and mystical, Keeper'n Me reflects a positive view of Native life and philosophy--as well as casting fresh light on the redemptive power of one's community and traditions."

"I first met Gord Downie and his brother Mike back in the winter of 2014. They wanted to discuss a potential project and, over coffee, they told me the story of Chanie 鈥淐harlie鈥� Wenjack. Gord was then in the final stages of recording his incredible songs based on Chanie鈥檚 life and he shared the rough mixes with me in the hopes that I would be interested in creating a graphic novel to accompany his album. Before we left the coffee shop I knew I was going to do it. I had to. Chanie鈥檚 story is one that will not let you go once you hear it. It鈥檚 a story that can鈥檛 be ignored. And yet, somehow, it has been ignored. By nearly all of us.

Growing up white in Southern Ontario, I never learned about Chanie Wenjack or about any of the tens of thousands of other indigenous children like him who were part of Canada鈥檚 residential school system. This is such a massive part of our country鈥檚 history, yet our schools didn鈥檛 teach us about it. Why? Maybe because it鈥檚 easier to live with ourselves if we pretend stories like Chanie鈥檚 never happened. But they did happen, and still happen. Chanie Wenjack lived and died, and no one knows his story.

I鈥檝e spent the last three years living with Chanie鈥檚 story and living inside Gord鈥檚 music. Gord鈥檚 haunting songs introduced me to Chanie Wenjack. Music is universal. It crosses languages and cultures and speaks to everyone, and I鈥檝e always felt the medium of comics could do the same. It鈥檚 our hope that one day Secret Path will be taught in schools and that it will help to shed a light on this all too often ignored part of Canada鈥檚 past. I think, above all else, that鈥檚 what Gord and I wanted to create: something that can鈥檛 be ignored. Every Canadian should know Chanie Wenjack鈥檚 name and I hope Secret Path helps to make that a reality."

"The story takes place in late 1950s Ontario, where eight-year-old Saul Indian Horse is torn from his Ojibway family and committed to one of Canada鈥檚 notorious Catholic Residential Schools. In this oppressive environment, Saul is denied the freedom to speak his language or embrace his Indigenous culture and he witnesses and experiences all kinds of abuse at the hands of the very people who were entrusted with his care. Despite this, Saul finds salvation in the unlikeliest of places and the most favourite of Canadian pastimes 鈥� hockey. Fascinated by the game, he secretly teaches himself how to play, and develops a unique and rare skill. It鈥檚 as if he has eyes in the back of his head and can see the game in a way no other player can. 

Saul鈥檚 talent leads him away from the misery of the Residential School to a Northern Ontario Indigenous league and eventually to the pros - but the terrors of Saul鈥檚 past seem to follow him. Forced to confront painful memories and revelations, he draws on the strength of his ancestors and the understanding of his friends to gain the compassion he sorely needs to begin healing.

Saul Indian Horse鈥檚 story is one that needs to be shared with all Canadians - settler and Indigenous people alike. The story is one of loss and fear, but also one of hope and resilience. Indian Horse dramatically brings the dark history of Canada to the big screen and in the process tells a universal story of hope."

"From bestselling true-crime author Peter Edwards and Governor General's Award-winning playwright Kevin Loring, two sons of Lytton, BC, the town that burned to the ground in 2021, comes a meditation on hometown鈥晈hen hometown is gone.

Before it made global headlines as the small town that burned down during a record-breaking heat wave in June 2021, while briefly the hottest place on Earth, Lytton, British Columbia, had a curious past. Named for the author of the infamous line, 鈥淚t was a dark and stormy night,鈥� Lytton was also where Peter Edwards, organized-crime journalist and author of seventeen non-fiction books, spent his childhood. Although only about 500 people lived in Lytton, Peter liked to joke that he was only the second-best writer to come from his tiny hometown. His grade-school classmate鈥檚 nephew Kevin Loring, Nlaka鈥檖amux from Lytton First Nation, had grown up to be a Governor General's Award-winning playwright.

The Nlaka鈥檖amux called Lytton 鈥淭he Centre of the World,鈥� a view Buddhists would share in the late twentieth century, as they set up a temple just outside town. In modern times, many outsiders would seek shelter there, often people who just didn鈥檛 fit anywhere else and were hoping for a little anonymity in the mountains. You鈥檒l meet a whole cast of them in this book.

A gold rush in 1858 saw conflict with a wave of Californians come to a head with the Canyon War at the junction of the mighty Fraser and Thompson rivers, one that would have changed the map of what was soon to become Canada had the locals lost. The Nlaka鈥檖amux lost over thirty lives in that conflict, as did the American gold seekers. A century later, Lytton hadn鈥檛 changed much. It was always a place where the troubles of the world seemed to land, even if very few people knew where it was.

This book is the story of Lytton, told from a shared perspective, of an Indigenous playwright and the journalist son of a settler doctor who quietly but sternly pushed back against the divisions that existed between populations (Dr. Edwards gladly took a lot of salmon as payment for his services back in the 1960s). Portrayed with all the warmth, humour and sincerity of small-town life, the colourful little town that burned to the ground could be every town鈥檚 warning if we don鈥檛 take seriously what this unique place has to teach us."

"This visual history shows how, after the CPR to Vancouver was finished, Canada imposed racist, anti-Chinese immigration policies that lasted more than 60 years.

The first Chinese immigrants arrived in Canada in the mid-1800s searching for gold and a better life. They found jobs in forestry, mining, and other resource industries. But life in Canada was difficult and the immigrants had to face racism and cultural barriers. Thousands were recruited to work building the Canadian Pacific Railway. Once the railway was finished, Canadian governments and many Canadians wanted the Chinese to go away. The government took measures to stop immigration from China to Canada. Starting in 1885, the government imposed a Head Tax with the goal of stopping immigration from China. In 1923 a ban was imposed that lasted to 1947. Despite this hostility and racism, Chinese-Canadian citizens built lives for themselves and persisted in protesting official discrimination. In June 2006, Prime Minister Harper apologized to Chinese Canadians for the former racist policies of the Canadian government.

Through historical photographs, documents, and first-person narratives from Chinese Canadians who experienced the Head Tax or who were children of Head Tax payers, this book offers a full account of the injustice of this period in Canadian history. It documents how this official racism was confronted and finally acknowledged."

"In 1914, the SS Komagata Maru crossed oceans and jurisdictions 鈥� Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore, Japan, and West Bengal 鈥� to arrive on the west coast of Canada. Citing regulations designed to limit the immigration of Indians, Canadian officials refused the ship and its passengers entry and detained them for two months in Vancouver Harbour. Most of the 376 passengers were then forcibly returned to India.

Unmooring the Komagata Maru challenges conventional Canadian historical accounts of the incident by drawing from multiple disciplines and fields to consider the international and colonial dimensions within the context of political resistance, migration, cultural memory, and nation-building. Drawing from various disciplines, the collection situates the history of South Asians in Canada within a larger global-imperial history, emphasizing the ways in which the Komagata Maru incident is related to issues of colonialism.

The contributors offer not only nuanced interpretations of the ship鈥檚 journey but also a critical reading of Canadian multiculturalism through past events and their commemoration. Ultimately, they caution against narratives that present the ship鈥檚 journey as a dark moment in the history of an otherwise redeemed nation. Unmooring the Komagata Maru demonstrates that, more than a hundred years later, the voyage of the Komagata Maru has yet to reach its conclusion."
