"Surviving Canada: Indigenous Peoples Celebrate 150 Years of Betrayal is a collection of elegant, thoughtful, and powerful reflections about Indigenous Peoples' complicated, and often frustrating, relationship with Canada, and how-even 150 years after Confederation-the fight for recognition of their treaty and Aboriginal rights continues. Through essays, art, and literature, Surviving Canada examines the struggle for Indigenous Peoples to celebrate their cultures and exercise their right to control their own economic development, lands, water, and lives. The Indian Act, Idle No More, and the legacy of residential schools are just a few of the topics covered by a wide range of elders, scholars, artists, and activists. Contributors include Mary Eberts, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Leroy Little Bear."--

"This is a varied collection of works related to Canada150 and Indigenous Peoples. Formats vary from standard essays and legal reviews to compilations of tweets to descriptions of art installations (one even included a link to a youtube video of the piece being performed) and screenplays. There was also great regional representation - I am from the east coast originally and it's rare to see our issues highlighted in volumes that cover the whole country.<br/><br/>It's always hard to give one comprehensive rating to an essay collection by various authors but I do feel like I learned a lot from it."
