Living Treaties essay, Atlantic Books Today
The latest issue of Atlantic Books Today (vol. 82, Winter 2016-2017) is now out there, delivered free with numerous select newspapers, and available from libraries and bookstores across the region. The design has been revamped and looks great thanks to Chris Benjamin, Joseph Muise and Vaughan Horne at Atlantic Publishers Marketing Assoc.
A feature essay by Marie Battiste, inspired by her edited collection Living Treaties: Narrating Mi’kmaw Treaty Relations (CBU Press 2016), situates treaty education for Atlantic Canadians and is a worthwhile read. “This time of reconciliation is as Justice Murray Sinclair (TRC 2015) has affirmed a time for Canadians to take control of their own learning and unlearning, to build a better relationship with Indigenous peoples.”
