As new legislation corrodes Métis land rights, and unscrupulous land speculators and swindlers take advantage, many Métis settle on road allowances and railway land, often on the fringes of urban centres. For Echo, the plight of her family is apparent. Burnt out of their home in Ste. Madeleine, they make their way to Rooster Town, a shanty community on the southwest edges of Winnipeg. In this final instalment of her story, Echo is reminded of the strength and resilience of her people, forged through the loss and pain of the past, as she faces a triumphant future.

Book Synopsis A Legacy of Exploitation by : Susan Dianne Brophy
Download or read book A Legacy of Exploitation written by Susan Dianne Brophy and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2022-05-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red River Colony was the Hudson’s Bay Company’s first planned settlement. As a settler-colonial project par excellence, it was designed to undercut Indigenous peoples’ “troublesome” autonomy and curtain the company’s dependency on their labour. In this critical re-evaluation of the history of the Red River Colony, Susan Dianne Brophy upends standard accounts by foregrounding Indigenous producers as a driving force of change. A Legacy of Exploitation challenges the enduring yet misleading fantasy of Canada as a glorious nation of adventurers, showing how autonomy can become distorted as complicity in processes of dispossession.

Download or read book God's Parallel Planets written by Jack Waggoner and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When God created heaven and earth, he also created heaven and Teren. Planet Teren is identical to Earth in every respect, including its placement in a duplicate solar system. Since creation, the two parallel planets developed along almost identical lines, and when God saw that the humans on each planet were not following his commandments, he decided to send his twin sons to intercede, one son to each planet. When both sons were confronted with crucifixion, God let it stand on Earth and every other chapter gives the reader Earth's historical highlights for the past two thousand years (including each and every documented war). On planet Teren, however, God stepped in and not only resurrected Jesus but also then installed him as the CEO of the planet. From his base in Jerusalem, the Teren Jesus set the standards for human development and without war""or for that matter, any form of sin""the people of Teren turned their attention to making life meaningful, fulfilling, pleasant, and Christian. (Every other chapter documents the development on Teren over the past two thousand years.) On Earth, millions upon millions of human brains were scattered across killing field after killing field. What might have come out of those millions upon millions of lost and destroyed brains? We may find out as we take a tantalizing glimpse into life on God's Parallel Planets.

Download or read book Lord Selkirk written by J.M. Bumsted and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Douglas, the Fifth Earl of Selkirk (1770–1820), was a complex man of his times, whose passions left an indelible mark on Canadian history. A product of the Scottish Enlightenment and witness to the French Revolution, he dedicated his fortune and energy to the vision of a new colony at the centre of North America. His final legacy, the Red River Settlement, led to the eventual end of the dominance of the fur trade and began the demographic and social transformation of western Canada. The product of three decades of research, this is the definitive biography of Lord Selkirk. Bumsted’s passionate prose and thoughtful analysis illuminate not only the man, but also the political and economic realities of the British empire at the turn of the nineteenth century. He analyzes Selkirk’s position within these realities, showing how his paternalistic attitudes informed his “social experiments” in colonization and translated into unpredictable, and often tragic, outcomes. Bumsted also provides extensive detail on the complexities of colonization, the Scottish Enlightenment, Scottish peerage, the fur trade, the Red River settlement, and early British-Canadian politics.
