Indigenous History & Culture in Canada

Indigenous History & Culture in Canada

In this brand-new release from Grey House Publishing Canada, historian and author Steven Danver, Ph.D., takes a close look at the history and culture of Indigenous people in Canada, tracing their history from precontact through colonial times to the present day, where efforts of truth and reconciliation are underway.

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.
