In Our Long Struggle for Home, George's sister, cousins, and others from the Stoney Point Reserve tell of broken promises and thwarted hopes in the decades-long battle to reclaim their ancestral homeland, both before and after the police action culminating in George's death. Offering insights into Nishnaabeg lifeways and historical treaties, this compelling account conveys how government decisions have affected lives, livelihoods, and identity. We hear of the devastation wrought by forcible eviction when the government re-purposed Nishnaabeg ancestral territory as an army training camp in 1942, promising to return it after the war. By May 1993, the elders had waited long enough. They entered the still-functioning training camp, under cover of a picnic outing, and constituted themselves as the interim government of the reclaimed Stoney Point Reserve. The next two years brought cultural and social revival, though it was ultimately quashed as an illegal occupation. Our Long Struggle for Home also shows what can be accomplished through perseverance and undiminished belief in a better future. This is a necessary lesson on colonialism, the power of resistance, persistence, and the possibilities inherent in recognizing treaty rights."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 600 10 $a George, Dudley, $d 1957-1995. 600 17 $a George, Dudley, $d 1957-1995. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00473030 650 0 $a Race discrimination $z Ontario. 651 0 $a Ontario $x Race relations. 651 0 $a Ontario $x Ethnic relations. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Land tenure $z Ipperwash Provincial Park. $z Ipperwash Provincial Park. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Ontario. 650 5 $a Ipperwash Incident, Ont., 1993- 650 5 $a First Nations $x Land tenure $z Ipperwash Provincial Park Region. $z Ipperwash Provincial Park Region. 650 5 $a First Nations $z Ipperwash Provincial Park Region $z Ipperwash Provincial Park Region $x Claims. 650 5 $a First Nations $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Ontario. 650 5 $a First Nations $x Government relations $y 1951- 650 5 $a First Nations $z Ipperwash Provincial Park Region $z Ipperwash Provincial Park Region $x History. 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Race discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086465 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a Ontario. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204832 776 08 $i Online version: $t Our long struggle for home. $d Vancouver ; Toronto : On Point Press, 2022 $z 9780774890595 $z 9780774890595 $w (OCoLC)1328037713 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717013614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A031EF2DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
