On Being Here to Stay - Treaties and Aboriginal Rights in Canada (Paperback, New)

What, other than numbers and power, justifies Canada's assertion of
sovereignty and jurisdiction over the country's vast territory? Why
should Canada's original inhabitants have to ask for rights to what
was their land when non-Aboriginal people first arrived? The
question lurks behind every court judgment on Indigenous rights,
every demand that treaty obligations be fulfilled, and every
land-claims negotiation. Addressing these questions has occupied
anthropologist Michael Asch for nearly thirty years. In On Being
Here to Stay, Asch retells the story of Canada with a focus on the
relationship between First Nations and settlers. Asch proposes a
way forward based on respecting the "spirit and intent" of treaties
negotiated at the time of Confederation, through which, he argues,
First Nations and settlers can establish an ethical way for both
communities to be here to stay.
