| Summary | "When the United States of America declared war on Great Britain in June of 1812, longstanding diplomatic relations with Indigenous nations were enhanced to provide defense along Canada's border, with several key battles taking place along the Niagara River corridor. Today historians have reached consensus that were it not for the support and contributions of Indigenous forces, Canada would likely have become absorbed into the United States or -- at the very least -- look far different than it does today. This fascinating history is but one episode within 13,000 years of inhabitation by Indigenous peoples in the Niagara Region. Here, for the first time, emerges an examination and presentation of the full spectrum of Indigenous life across millennia, bringing forward previously unknown insights and revelations"--Dust jacket flap. |
