Review of 'Unsettling Canada' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

Mostly written by Arthur Manuel, told in the first person, about the struggles of First Nations in Canada and the tactics used by the Canadian and Provincial Governments to deny them their land and their rights, even those written into treaties and the Canadian Constitution. This is fairly detailed and a must read for white people to understand what is being done, ostensibly in their names, but mostly for the benefit of resource companies or "developers".

It also expresses his disappointment that some Nations have made concessions that he feels are harmful in the long run, though also that he understands that they made them with their backs to the wall through poverty.
