Book Launch – Bill Waiser and Jennie Hansen: Cheated: The Laurier Liberals and the Theft of First Nations Reserve Land
Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is pleased to invite you to join Bill Waiser and Jennie Hansen for their Ottawa launch of Cheated: The Laurier Liberals and the Theft of First Nations Reserve Land (ECW Press) with special guest host, Kerry Abel.
Be part of an engaging exploration of how the Laurier Liberals seized control of the Department of Indian Affairs in 1896, transforming it into a machine for expropriating Indigenous land.
Book description
Cheated is a compelling narrative of single-minded politicians, uncompromising Indian Affairs officials, grasping government appointees, and well-connected Liberal speculators, set against a backdrop of politics, power, patronage and profit. The Laurier government’s settlement of western Canada can never be looked at the same way again.
