Seen but Not Seen : Influential Canadians and the First Nations from the 1840s to Today Hardback

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

Throughout the nineteenth and most of the twentieth century, the majority of Canadians argued that European "civilization" must replace Indigenous culture.

The ultimate objective was assimilation into the dominant society. Seen but Not Seen explores the history of Indigenous marginalization and why non-Indigenous Canadians failed to recognize Indigenous societies and cultures as worthy of respect.

Approaching the issue biographically, Donald B. Smith presents the commentaries of sixteen influential Canadians - including John A.

Macdonald, George Grant, and Emily Carr - who spoke extensively on Indigenous subjects.

Supported by documentary records spanning over nearly two centuries, Seen but Not Seen covers fresh ground in the history of settler-Indigenous relations.
