內容簡介
內容簡介 Illuminating the First Nations struggles against the Canadian state, It's All about the Land exposes how racism underpins and shapes Indigenous-settler relationships. Renowned Kahnawà ke Mohawk activist and scholar Taiaiake Alfred explains how the Canadian government's reconciliation agenda is a new form of colonization that is guaranteed to fail.Bringing together Alfred's speeches and interviews from over the past two decades, the book shows that Indigenous peoples across the world face a stark choice: reconnect with their authentic cultures and values or continue following a slow road to annihilation.Rooted in ancestral spirit, knowledge, and law, It's All about the Land presents a passionate argument for Indigenous Resurgence as the pathway toward justice for Indigenous peoples.
