• Summary:"The essays collected in this book explore various aspects of the 1850 Robinson Treaties; most speak to the Robinson-Huron Treaty a few speak to the Robinson-Superior Treaty. The interconnected nature of the two treaties, and the shared experience with colonialism, makes the studies contained herein valuable to all living within the Robinson Treaty boundaries and beyond. This Is Indian Land also forms part of the decolonization effort being undertaken by Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples around the globe. Additionally, by generating knowledge about the 1850 Treaties, this volume is participating in the reconciliation process within Canada. By studying how nineteenth century British Canada imposed itself upon Anishinaabeg lands, the authors are acknowledging the complexities of colonialism, which in turn works toward decolonization and reconciliation. Moreover, each paper exists within the knowledge that the relationship between British-Canadian and, later, Canadian governments and Indigenous Peoples remains an ongoing process. It is within this context that each contributor's chapter was written. It is only through the dissemination of knowledge about Canada's colonial past, no matter how uncomfortable, that decolonization and reconciliation between settler and original inhabitant can be achieved. This Is Indian Land is informed by the vision of reconciliation and decolonization, but not dominated by it."-- Provided by publisher.
