As long as this land shall last : a history of Treaty 8 and Treaty 11, 1870-1939
"As Long As This Land Shall Last is a thorough and accurate historical documentation of Treaties 8 (1899-1900) and 11 (1921) between the Canadian government and the First Nations people from northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories. These treaties promised they could live and hunt in freedom on their ancestral lands - "as long as the sun rises from east to west, as long as the river flows downstream, as long as this land shall last."" "Historian Rene Fumoleau has delved into church and government sources dating from 1870 to 1939 and has compiled interviews with over seventy Dene witnesses that give the reader a clear picture of the negotiations for the treaties as well as their aftermath."--Jacket
