Description

Too often, history and knowledge of Indigenous-settler conflict over land take the form of confidential reports prepared for court challenges.

To Share, Not Surrender offers an entirely new approach, opening scholarship to the public and augmenting it with First Nations community expertise.

The authors take us back to when James Douglas and his family relocated to Fort Victoria on Vancouver Island in 1849, critically tracing the transition from treaty-making in the colony of Vancouver Island to reserve formation in the colony of British Columbia.

Informed by the spirit of cel’a?’en – “our culture, the way of our people” – this multivocal work includes essays, translations/interpretations of the treaties into the SENCOTEN and Lekwungen languages, and contributions by participants of the Songhees, Huu-ay-aht, and WSANEC peoples. As an all-embracing exploration of the struggle over land, To Share, Not Surrender advances the urgent task of reconciliation in Canada.
