Advance Praise for

Arrows in a Quiver

A comprehensive and excellent book.

Cash Ahenakew, Professor of Education,
University of British Columbia

A useful introduction to Indigenous issues, especially for post-secondary students in Canada. Jonathan Dewar, co-editor of Cultivating Canada:

Reconciliation through the Lens of Cultural Diversity

Focusing on the many relationships between Indigenous peoples and the Crown, James Frideres shows how pervasive colonialism has been on Indigenous Places and Canadian legal system since the first encounters, and into the age of Reconciliation. It is a must-read for non-Indigenous settlers in Canada, and especially for government politicians and lawyers.

David McNab, co-author of Canadas First Nations: A History of Founding Peoples from Earliest Times

Arrows in a Quiver makes a serious advance in state-of-the-art research. Jim Frideres has taken the many disparateand sometimes conflictingcommentaries on decolonization and situated them in their historical context as shaped by government action/inaction. After having established this historical context, he goes a step further and provides insight into what the path to reconciliation, as called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, necessitates. Situating the historical, political, and social contexts provides understanding into what decolonization and a devolution of governmental power may entail, an understanding which is critical if reconciliation is to be embraced by Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians alike.

Cathy Prowse, Professor of Sociology & Anthropology, Mount Royal University

Arrows in a Quiver is a remarkable book that is essential reading for all Canadians who want to understand the roots of the ongoing and seemingly intractable relationship of Indigenous Peoples and the state. The author, James Frideres, has devoted his professional life to analysing this critical topic from multiple perspectives and offers crucial insights for possible ways forward.

Authors Note

When settlers entered what is now Canada, many Indigenous peoples were eliminated by disease, starvation and outright genocide by the state. Those who survived were relegated to the margins of society and had their families, health, spirituality, land, and language taken away or destroyed. Over the years, the state continued these attacks on first peoples.

But now Indigenous peoples and communities are resisting. They are plugging into global and domestic Indigenous advocacy networks, organizing social movements and activist organizations, and participating in the legal and political spheres of Canadian society to combat colonialism and the institutions that have promulgated the marginalization of Indigenous peoples. Community economic development initiatives are emerging from their grassroots, and Indigenous people are taking back control of the education of their young people and preserving their traditional languages.

The emergence of multiple ways in which to resist colonial ideology and action has given Indigenous people an arsenal of arrows to use to confront the state use of genocide, institutional racism, and the promotion of assimilation. These arrows are allowing Indigenous peoples to reclaim what they lost during colonization, re-establish their voice in Canadian society, and achieve equality and justice.
