WINNER OF THE HERITAGE TORONTO 2022 BOOK AWARD Rich and diverse
narratives of Indigenous Toronto, past and present Beneath many
major North American cities rests a deep foundation of Indigenous
history that has been colonized, paved over, and, too often,
silenced. Few of its current inhabitants know that Toronto has seen
twelve thousand years of uninterrupted Indigenous presence and
nationhood in this region, along with a vibrant culture and history
that thrives to this day. With contributions by Indigenous Elders,
scholars, journalists, artists, and historians, this unique
anthology explores the poles of cultural continuity and settler
colonialism that have come to define Toronto as a significant
cultural hub and intersection that was also known as a Meeting
Place long before European settlers arrived. "This book is a
reflection of endurance and a helpful corrective to settler
fantasies. It tells a more balanced account of our communities,
then and now. It offers the space for us to reclaim our ancestors'
language and legacy, rewriting ourselves back into a landscape from
which non Indigenous historians have worked hard to erase us. But
we are there in the skyline and throughout the GTA, along the coast
and in all directions." -- from the introduction by Hayden King
