Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg: The History of Curve Lake First Nation by Doug Williams

5.0

In Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg: This is Our Territory, Gidigaa Migizi (Doug Williams) shares some of the history of the Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg people, particularly in the region of Curve Lake, spanning the story of creation, Nishnaabeg life pre- colonial contact, the treaties, up to today. I appreciate his sharing his wisdom and his experiences and I highly recommend this book particularly to anyone living and working on, or with a connection to, this region. Given the ways that dominant narratives distort both history and contemporary realities through a colonial lens, this book is an important one.
