Recommended by a prof. Everything the Manuel family writes should be required reading!

Very informative. I didn’t know a lot about the ways in which the international community condemns the Canadian state for their continued colonization of Indigenous Peoples. I did find that all of the details were a bit above my head and some sections of the book were dry and difficult to push through. Also a lot of repetition. The writing style was powerful but had charm and personality. I learned a lot and definitely highly recommend this book!

This is a really important read, and one of the best things I’ve read for understanding how non-Indigenous Canadians can repair the relationship with Indigenous Canadians that has been badly damaged by generations of genocidal policies and practices. This book doesn’t shy away from talking about the deep issues and what must be done, particularly around recovering more of the land base for Indigenous communities.

What a phenomenal book. It pulls no punches when discussing the horrors of colonial violence in Canada both past and present. It should be required reading for all Canadians, especially settler Canadians. Some of it is hard to digest, it's hard to recognize and acknowledge your complicity in such a horrific system, but so it is.
