Aboriginal peoples in Canada: Contemporary conflicts

Frideres, James

Prentice Hall/Allyn and Bacon Canada

An overview of settler colonialism and the pathway to decolonization and reconciliation from an indigenous perspective Written in an accessible style and ideal for classroom use, Arrows in a Quiver provides an overview of Indigenous-settler relations, including how land is central to Indigenous identity and how the Canadian state marginalizes Indigenous people. Illustrating the various "arrows in a quiver" that Indigenous people use to fight back, such as grassroots organizing, political engagement, and the courts, Frideres situates "settler colonialism" historically and explains why decolonization requires a fundamental transformation of long-standing government policy for reconciliation to occur. The historical, political, and social context provided by this text offers greater understanding and theorizes what the effective devolution of government power might look like. "A useful introduction to Indigenous issues, especially for post-secondary students in Canada." --Jonathan Dewar, co-editor of Cultivating Canada: Reconciliation through the Lens of Cultural Diversity
