By Canoe and Dog-Train: Among the Cree and Salteaux Indians
by Rev. Egerton Ryerson Young, and Mark Guy Pearse (Introduction by)
- Used
- fair
- Hardcover
Gray cloth over boards, illustrated w/ Pen&Ink; scenes from engravings; Gold stylish titles. This history illustrates the misguided policies of the missionaries who supervised schools for youth who were separated from Native Nations' Reservation families to be "educated" in attempts to erase language, heritage and traditions among 19th century Canada territories. While missionary zeal is open to critique; there are some chapters that preserve that which the colonists tried to wipe out; for instance, the Cree syllabic alphabet. Book condition: Soiling to covers; deterioration of thin brown end papers, and more. Repair needed to maintain stitching. Several small fronds of delicate ferns tucked within pages. Numerous drawings. Setting: Northern Canada.
