Circles of time: aboriginal land rights and resistance in Ontario: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Circles of time: aboriginal land rights and resistance in Ontario" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The origin of the events during the summer of 1990 in a little-known area of Quebec lies deep within the history of Canada. Resistance to governments handling of land claims is not new, but the extreme and violent form of the response at Oka heralded a new approach by First Nations to the resolution of Aboriginal land and treaty rights in Canada. Circles of Time documents the experiences of Aboriginal people, their history and recent negotiations in Ontario, and provides insight into the historiography of the treaty-making process, particularly in the last quarter-century. Controversial decisions such as the Temagami case and Oka are detailed, and McNab, who draws on archival sources that support oral history, provides a new perspective on land claims issues. Such compelling background information will be invaluable to anyone endeavoring to understand the origin and the current controversies surrounding Aboriginal land and treaty rights, and will clarify the reasons for resistance. Above all, this book will remind us we must never forget that this history belongs to Aboriginal people. Turtle Island is their place, and their oral history can no longer be ignored.

Continuity
"Wolf" continues...
With a sacred language
older than words
that warns of little red riding hood,
steel traps and bullets.
They endure...
Like their grandfathers and grandmothers before them.
"Eagle" continues...
Even though the power from nuclear towers lures them away from
the door beyond the rainbow.
They endure...
And there is no talon tied to a captive pole
that can stop their calls carried from above.
"Turtle" continues...
You can see her head retracted inside
because her ones have been exposed
as in an x-ray.
She endures...
for the sake of her children
