Burdened by a past that remains 'refracted' in its understanding and treatment of Indigenous peoples, this collection reinterprets treaty making and land claims from Indigenous perspectives. These five essays not only provide fresh insights to the interpretations of treaties and treaty-making processes, but also examine land claims still under negotiation. Natives and Settlers reclaims the vitality of Indigenous laws and paradigms in Canada, a country new to decolonization.
Four papers from an April 2000 Medieval and Early Modern Institute Conference held at the University of Alberta discuss indigenous relations with European settlers over land in the British Empire. From perspectives of literature, anthropology, and law, they explore such topics as refractions of the colonial past in the present, treaties made in good faith, land rights, and reflections of a Nihiyow (Cree) on nation building.
