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.
In a moment where unlawful pipelines are built on Indigenous
territories, the RCMP make illegal arrests of land defenders on
unceded lands, and anti-Indigenous racism permeates social media,
the renowned lawyer, author, speaker and activist Pamela Palmater
returns to wade through media misinformation and government
propaganda and get to the heart of key issues lost in the noise.
Warrior Life is the second collection of writings by Palmater. In
keeping with her previous works, numerous op-eds, media
commentaries, YouTube channel videos, and podcasts, Palmater is
fiercely anticolonial, antiracist, and more crucial than ever
before. Palmater addresses a range of Indigenous issues--empty
political promises, ongoing racism, sexualized genocide, government
lawlessness and the lie that is reconciliation--making complex
political and legal implications accessible to all of us. From one
of the most important, inspiring, and fearless voices on Indigenous
rights, decolonization, Canadian politics, social justice, earth
justice, and beyond, Warrior Life is an unflinching critique of the
colonial project that is Canada and a rallying cry for Indigenous
Peoples and allies alike to forge a path toward a decolonial future
through resistance and resurgence.
Indigenous Nationhood is a selection of blog posts by well-known
lawyer, activist and academic Pamela Palmater. Palmater offers
critical legal and political commentary and analysis on
legislation, Aboriginal rights, Canadian politics, First Nations
politics and social issues such as murdered and missing Indigenous
women, poverty, economics, identity and culture. Palmater s writing
tackles myths and stereotypes about Indigenous peoples head-on,
discusses Indigenous nationhood and nation building, examines
treaty rights and provides an accessible, critical analysis of laws
and government policies being imposed on Indigenous peoples.
Fiercely anti-racist and anti-colonial, this book is intended to
help rebuild the connections between Indigenous citizens and their
home communities, local governments and Indigenous Nations for the
benefit of future generations. "
