This new edition offers a refreshing and much-needed take on Indigenous histories in the area now known as Canada. It centers Indigenous voices to disrupt colonial historical narratives and situate contact, colonialism, and Canadian state expansion as complex and often violent processes. It critically engages with established settler narratives about Canada's history without casting Indigenous peoples as victims."
