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 KahnawĂ :ke
Mohawk activist and scholar Taiaiake Alfred explains how the
Canadian government’s reconciliation agenda is a new form of
colonization that is also 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. Alfred proposes a
radical vision for contesting and confronting the ongoing genocide
of the original peoples of this land: Indigenous Resurgence. This
way of thinking, being, and practising represents an authentic
politics that roots resistance in the spirit, knowledge, and laws
of the ancestors. Set against the historic arc of
Indigenous-settler relations in Canada and drawing on the rich
heritage of First Nations resistance movements, It’s All about
the Land traces the evolution of Indigenous struggle and liberation
through the dynamic processes of oratory, dialogue, action, and
reflection.
