Divided by a beautiful valley and 150 years of racism, the town of Rossburn and the Waywayseecappo Indian reserve have been neighbours nearly as long as Canada has been a country. Their story reflects much of what has gone wrong in relations between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous Canadians. It also offers, in the end, an uncommon measure of hope. Valley of the Birdtail is about how two communities became separate and unequal—and what it means for the rest of us.

Well told history through a human lens
Revisado: 09-09-22
This book does a wonderful job of weaving past and present together by telling the generational tale of a First Nations and White family living on opposite sides of a valley. Through their stories we learn about the history of repression and endurance of First Nations and also the challenges and opportunities provided to Ukrainian immigrants. Well researched, written with a caring hand, and delivered by a wonderful narrator it is well worth listening. You will finish the book with a greater understanding of Canada’s history and how it informs our present day.
