For over 100 years, thousands of Aboriginal children passed through the Canadian residential school system. Begun in the 1870s, it was intended, in the words of government officials, to bring these children into the “circle of civilization,” the results, however, were far different. More often, the schools provided an inferior education in an atmosphere of neglect, disease, and often abuse. Using previously unreleased government documents, historian John S. Milloy provides a full picture of the history and reality of the residential school system.

In arresting, but harrowing, prose, James Daschuk examines the roles that Old World diseases, climate, and, most disturbingly, Canadian politics—the politics of ethnocide—played in the deaths and subjugation of thousands of Indigenous people in the realization of Sir John A. Macdonald’s “National Dream.” It was a dream that came at great expense: the present disparity in health and economic well-being between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations, and the lingering racism and misunderstanding that permeates the national consciousness to this day.

Whit Fraser delivers a smart, touching and astute living history of five decades that transformed the North, a span he witnessed first as a longtime CBC reporter and then through his friendships and his work with Dene and Inuit activists and leaders. Whit had a front-row seat at the MacKenzie Valley Pipeline inquiry, the constitutional conferences and the land-claims negotiations that successfully reshaped the North. His vivid portraits of groundbreakers bring home their truly historic achievements, but they also give us a privileged glimpse of who they are, and who Whit Fraser is.

Five hundred years of colonization have taken an incalculable toll on the Indigenous peoples of the Americas: substance-use disorders and shockingly high rates of depression, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions brought on by genocide and colonial control. With passionate logic and chillingly clear prose, author and educator Suzanne Methot uses history, human development, and her own and others’ stories to trace the roots of Indigenous cultural dislocation and community breakdown in an original and provocative examination of the long-term effects of colonization.

In this direct, concise, and essential volume, Harold R. Johnson examines the justice system's failures to deliver "peace and good order" to Indigenous people. He explores the part that he understands himself to have played in that mismanagement, drawing on insights he has gained from the experience; insights into the roots and immediate effects of how the justice system has failed Indigenous people, in all the communities in which they live; and insights into the struggle for peace and good order for Indigenous people now.

There is one question Canadians have asked Jody Wilson-Raybould more than any other: What can I do to help advance reconciliation? This has been true from her time as a leader of British Columbia’s First Nations, as a Member of Parliament, as Minister of Justice and Attorney General, within business communities, and when having conversations with people. Whether speaking as individuals, communities, organizations, or governments, people want to take concrete and tangible action that will make real change. They just need to know how to get started, or to take the next step.

In 1984, at the age of 24, Clarence Louie was elected Chief of the Osoyoos Indian Band in the Okanagan Valley. Nineteen elections later, Chief Louie has led his community for nearly four decades. The story of how the Osoyoos Indian Band - “The Miracle in the Desert” - transformed from a Rez that once struggled with poverty into an economically independent people is well-known. Guided by his years growing up on the Rez, Chief Louie believes that economic and business independence are key to self-sufficiency, reconciliation, and justice for First Nations people.

In her debut collection of short stories, Islands of Decolonial Love, renowned writer and activist Leanne Simpson vividly explores the lives of contemporary Indigenous Peoples and communities, especially those of her own Nishnaabeg nation. Found on reserves, in cities and small towns, in bars and curling rinks, canoes and community centres, doctors offices and pickup trucks, Simpson's characters confront the often heartbreaking challenge of pairing the desire to live loving and observant lives with a constant struggle to simply survive....

Description
Delgamuukw. Sixties Scoop. Bill C-31. Blood quantum. Appropriation. Two-Spirit. Tsilhqot’in. Status. TRC. RCAP. FNPOA. Pass and permit. Numbered Treaties. Terra nullius. The Great Peace....
Are you familiar with the terms listed above? In Indigenous Writes, Chelsea Vowel, legal scholar, teacher, and intellectual, opens an important dialogue about these (and more) concepts and the wider social beliefs associated with the relationship between Indigenous peoples and Canada.
In 31 essays, Chelsea explores the Indigenous experience from the time of contact to the present, through five categories - Terminology of Relationships; Culture and Identity; Myth-Busting; State Violence; and Land, Learning, Law, and Treaties. She answers the questions that many people have on these topics to spark further conversations at home, in the classroom, and in the larger community.
Indigenous Writes is one title in The Debwe Series.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“A convincing case for rejecting the prevailing policies of ‘assimilation, control, intrusion and coercion’ regarding aboriginal people.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Vowel’s voice and personality remain present throughout each essay. Her use of vernacular, humour, and at times, sarcasm add layers of meaning, underscore arguments and carry her and her readers through discussions of infuriating facts and difficult, often painful issues.” (McGill Journal of Education)
“Indigenous Writes is a timely book...and contains enough critical information to challenge harmful assumptions and facilitate understanding. This is a book for everyone - but particularly for non-Indigenous people wishing to better understand their own place in the history of violence against Indigenous peoples, and to find ways to move toward true solutions and right relationships.” (Daniel Rück, Montreal Review of Books)

MUCH Better as a hard copy!
Oh, man. Where do I even start here? First and foremost, the content is GREAT! It's very educational and informative. HIGHLY recommended if you are a non-indigenous Canadian looking to understand the common terminology used and current (and past) issues indigenous communities face. It's well written and the narrator is lovely.
But I found it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to get through as an audiobook. The audiobook format just does not work for this piece because it's constantly referencing source material and footnotes and websites. I want to take this information in, but it would be much easier to do so with a hard copy of the book.
Again, GREAT CONTENT! But I definitely think it's formatted in a way that does not lend itself well to audiobook and would be better recieved through physically reading through a hardcopy of the book.

WHY READ OUT FOOTNOTES!?!?!?
The audio book starts out quite interesting.
The narrator has a good voice.
But why the *@## are the footnotes being read out at the end of each chapter!?!?!?
It destroys the joy of listening!!!
Please rerecord the book without the footnotes and just add a PDF file!!!!
It's sad that a good narrator and possibly an interesting book is rendered useless by such a bad decision!!!
I've been an Audible member for over 20 years at least.
I always review the books that I listened to.
This is the first time that I've been so critical. But I must be truthful.

Indigenous writes, but reads references poorly
This may be a good book to read, but has been poorly treated by the audible format. Verbalizing each reference as it appears at the end of each chapter is the most ridiculous treatment of a text I have ever listened to. It is long, unnecessary and I am sure nobody at Audible took the time to listen to an entire chapter or this would have been corrected. A website article reference sounds like this: double U, double U, double U, dot …. Open bracket, 2017, close bracket etc. Unbelievable. I stopped after 2 chapters. Life is too short.

Disappointing audiobook production
I am not here to comment on the content of this book. I cannot seem to move forward with the listening because of the excessive spelled out citation links. I wanted to listen to this book for the contents of the book and the important value that it potentially contains. But when you cant sit back and listen to the content then one feels disappointed in the book. I have put in 1 hour, 10min and 3 chapters and I cannot bring myself to continue any further :(.

The references ruin the entire audiobook!!!
This book probably is a lot better if you read it. I think it’s very informative, particularly pertaining to indigenous understanding and issues. Trying to listen to this audiobook was very difficult! Having to repeat out loud the references and citations is a write off! I was very disappointed in this because I think it has a lot of potential but the delivery is horrible! I would like to clarify that it’s not the delivery of the individual narrating the book, but more how she hast to deliver it to be considered “proper”.

it's a good 101 on understanding Indigenous issues in Canada. the narrator does a great job and is good in capturing the emotions of the author. There were a lot of end notes to this book, which is great in terms of being properly cited but definitely required active management to skip through that part. would have been great if there was an accompanying PDF with the end notes to reference.

Amazing content - but consider changing the footnotes
This is an incredible book! Really lovely that you’re so thorough with your references - but a better listening experience would be to let people know do download your footnotes.
I’ve never listened to a more annoying footnote section - and every chapter! It really disrupts the flow and learning.
The content is amazing. The reader is amazing. I’m learning so much.
Please consider adapting the ends of your chapter and treatments of footnotes in your audio version.

Informational if written too conversationally
The narrator is sassy. I'd prefer a generic reader to what might be an interpretation, not the authors specific intention in tone and voice.
Plenty of information, links to information, if only they were useful in the least. We need text footnotes and indexes or we aren't getting the full product and amazon should stop charging as such.
The end of each chapter contains an unbearable compilation of html links spelled out in what has to be the most useless form of information passing I have ever seen. Amazon should be ashamed.

very informative
Very informative but much of the book is spent narrating end notes, which should be provided as a PDF.
