The title of this book We Were Not the Savages speaks to the truth
of what happened when Europeans invaded Mi'kmaw lands in the 17th
century. Prior to the European invasion the Mi'kmaq lived healthy
lives and for thousands of years lived harmoniously with nature in
the land they called Mi'kma'ki. This book sets the record straight.
When the Europeans arrived, they were welcomed and sustained by the
Mi'kmaq. After they became well established, over the next three
centuries, they turned on the Mi'kmaq; their language, culture and
their way of life was systematically ravaged by the newcomers to
whom they had extended human kindness. The murderous savagery of
white supremacist policies that begot residential schools, Indian
reserves, scalping proclamations, etc., all but wiped out the
Mi'kmaw people. Yet the Mi'kmaq survived and today stand defending
the land, the water and nature's bounty from the European way of
life, which threatens the natural world we live in and need to
survive. Since the first edition was published in 1993, Daniel
Paul's ongoing research puts the lie to the mainstream record of
Canadian settler colonialism and reveals that the mistreatment of
Indigenous Peoples throughout the Americas is not confined to the
past. In this 4th edition the author shares his research, which
catalogues not only the historical tragedy but the ongoing attempts
to silence the Mi'kmaq and other Indigenous Peoples. Paul's work
continues to give the Mi'kmaw people a voice that must be heard. It
is a guiding light in a dark world.
