Summary
:
Thirty-one essays discussing various issues related to the Indigenous experience in Canada from the time of first contact to the present. Chelsea Vowel initiates myriad conversations about the relationship between Indigenous peoples and Canada. An advocate for Indigenous worldviews, the author discusses the fundamental issues the terminology of relationships; culture and identity; myth-busting; state violence; and land, learning, law and treaties along with wider social beliefs about these issues. She answers the questions that many people have on these topics to spark further conversations at home, in the classroom, and in the larger community. Chelsea Vowel is MÔetis from manitow-sÒakahikan (Lac Ste. Anne) Alberta where she and her family currently reside. She has worked directly with First Nations researching self-government, participating in constitutional drafting and engaging in specific land claim negotiation settlements and valuation of claims over a 200 year period. Most recently an educator in QuÔebec, she developed and delivered programs to Inuit youth in a restorative justice program. Chelsea blogs at apihtawikosisan.com.
