In this brand-new release from Grey House Publishing Canada, historian and author Steven Danver, Ph.D., takes a close look at the history and culture of Indigenous people in Canada, tracing their history from precontact through colonial times to the present day, where efforts of truth and reconciliation are underway.

Indigenous languages, storytelling and oral traditions, and cultural and religious traditions are discussed, as well as the negative effects of colonial policies imposed on Indigenous communities. Indigenous resistance and rebuilding efforts further the narrative, as well as biographies of prominent Indigenous figures in history. In modern times, the book discusses the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), Indigenous representation in arts and media, and provides insights into modern political movements.

The information is enhanced by the inclusion of primary documents, statistics and infographics, and useful maps. A glossary, chronology, bibliography, and mediagraphy round out the content.

Indigenous History & Culture in Canada is an excellent resource for anyone interested in gaining detailed insight into Indigenous traditions and history, from a historical context through to modern culture and the pressing issues facing the Indigenous peoples of Canada today. This is a noteworthy reference for public libraries to add to their history or Indigenous collection. High schools, colleges and undergraduate programs will also benefit by providing this curriculum-support material for students who are in enrolled in Indigenous studies and related courses. This title adds tremendous value by complimenting any Canadian history collection.
