Abstract

"For over 200 years, the Cree community of Pelican Narrows has endured a torturous relationship with encroaching European culture, from the Hudson Bay factors and missionaries of earlier times to the bureaucrats and police of today. Author Siggins gives us the human face behind the newspaper headlines of native issues. After years of research on a community she has known most of her life, the portrait Siggins gives us of this single Saskatchewan community is unforgettable." -- WorldCat.org.
