| On The Land |
| Confronting Challenges to Aboriginal Self-Determination in Northern Quebec & Labrador |
| ||||||
| Edited by Bruce W. Hodgins & Kerry A. Cannon |
| Essays by Matthew Coon Come, Zebedee Nungak, Daniel Ashini, Mary Ellen Turpel, Boyce Richardson, and others. This book must be read by anyone seeking to understand the Cree and the Inuit perspectives on Quebec separation, in particular, and in general, the Aboriginal view across Canada on the Native right to self-determination. In the approach to the 21st century, the Native peoples of Canada, as they assert their right to make choices for themselves, stand steadfastly "on the land" from which flow their inherent rights to self-determination. "Great Whale is only a symptom. The attempted dispossession of my people, and the purported extinguishment of our rights, is the cause." Matthew Coon Come Grand Chief of the Grand Council of the Cree "We are not willing to be bystanders and spectators. We are not willing to have our political status once again determined by others." Zebedee Nungak, President of Makivik, representing Inuit of Northern Quebec |
| It is from the land that the Native peoples of Canada draw their strength. |
