Your Home On Native Land: The History of Land Claims in Canada
Written by Alan Skeoch
Illustrated by Bernie Mireault
For many of Canada’s first inhabitants, North America was Turtle Island—made by the Creator and not available for sale. For Canada’s second wave of inhabitants, North America was up for grabs. This book describes the culture class between Canada’s first and subsequent nations that led to the land-claim disputes still being negotiated 200 years later. Told graphically, as a dialogue between a young boy and an elder, this book is a step toward understanding this important Canadian issue.
