_Natives and Settlers provides a beginning to what should be (and should have been) a continuing, respectful discussion.__Blanca Schorcht, Associate Professor, University of Northern British ColumbiaIs Canada truly postcolonial? Burdened by a past that remains _refracted_ in its understanding and treatment of Native peoples, this collection reinterprets treaty making and land claims from Aboriginal 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 Aboriginal laws and paradigms in Canada, a country new to decolonization.Paul W. DePasquale is of Mohawk and European backgrounds and a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory in Ontario. He is associate professor of English at the University of Winnipeg where he teaches Aboriginal cultural and literary studies.Contributors:Harold CardinalJonathan HartErin McGregorPatricia SeedFrank ToughSharon VenneDePasquale, Paul is the author of 'Natives And Settlers Now And Then Historical Issues And Current Perspectives on Treaties And Land Claims in Canada' with ISBN 9780888644626 and ISBN 0888644620.
