Description
[ix], 496 pages. Index. Footnotes. Black and white illustrations. "Investigates the greatest human catastrophe ever on Canadian soil, perhaps 100,000 B.C. natives died from smallpox during 1862/63. Before then, the indigenous peoples were still sovereign in their respective territories. Afterward, British Columbia subjugated and disposessed the depopulated and demoralized native nations through small wars billed as policing and by hanging more than a dozen natives resisting the unconstitutional imposition of British institutions." - back cover. Former library copy with the usual markings and heavy soiling and wear. Binding intact. Not pretty but a worthy reading copy. Book
