AN EASY-TO-READ AND ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO TREATIES, INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY, AND LAND FOR ALL CANADIANSTreaties cover much of Canada. Some were established thousands of years ago, with Land and animals, and others date back to the time when Europeans first arrived in North America. These agreements make it possible for all of us to live, work, play, and profit on these Lands. Additionally, treaties have profoundly shaped the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. In Talk Treaty to Me, Crystal Gail Fraser and Sara Komarnisky untangle the complexities of treaties and set forth a path to a greater understanding of all our roles, rights, and responsibilities. In this accessible, clear, and concise book, they discuss:• Treaties among and between Indigenous Peoples• The history of treaty-making between Indigenous Peoples and Britain, then Canada, from the very beginning to the present day• Concepts like Métis scrip, modern Land claims and self-government agreements, Indigenous sovereignty, and unceded territory• The (dis)honouring of treaties and the role of Canadian settler colonialism• How the creation of Canadian borders interrupts Indigenous sovereignty and nationhood• Important insights from gendered and queer perspectives on treaty and Land• The politics of land acknowledgements• Reconciliation and Land Back movementsWith a quick-reference timeline, maps, and black-and-white photographs throughout, Talk Treaty to Me concludes with a call to action and specific, tangible steps that all of us can take every day to support truth and reconciliation.
