Starting in 1951, Indigenous children in Canada were taken by social welfare agencies from their families and placed in the care of non-Indigenous families. These children grew up without their birth families, cultural roots, and language. Many tried to run away and some died in the attempt. The taking of the children is known as the Sixties Scoop, though the policies and practices started before the 1960s and lasted long after. Today, Indigenous children are shockingly over-represented in the child welfare system across Canada.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129900093</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129900093</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bomberry, Andrew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129900093049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459416697/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inuit Relocations]]></title><description><![CDATA[The traditional life of Inuit of Canada's North, affected early on by contact with whalers and the development of the fur trade.

And it is our politicians, educators, and legacy media journalists that are uncritically accepting, repeating, and perpetuating unproven claims and outright fabrications. But as citizens, as Canadians, as participants of what should be informed discourse: do we not deserve to understand history in all its depth and complexity? Are we to be shielded from research, facts, and open inquiry? Fortunately, the authors featured in Dead Wrong are carrying on the outstanding work that started with its 2023 predecessor Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us (And the Truth About Residential Schools). These writers have nobly dedicated their efforts to rigorous scholarship and thoughtful analysis in the area of Indian Residential Schools. For the past couple years, those propagating distorted accounts about the residential school system have been backtracking, stonewalling, and pushing to criminalize residential school "denialism." But armed with the research assembled in Dead Wrong, we are making it clear just how many of us will not be patronized or discouraged from seeking truth, accuracy, and honesty. -Lindsay Shepherd" -- ]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129938775</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129938775</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129938775049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Canada Got the Residential School Story So Wrong</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798274120593/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Count Fontenay and New Franc]]></title><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129937261</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129937261</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Parkman, Francis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 1885 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129937261049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Under Louis XIV</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cold Case Sisters]]></title><description><![CDATA["Cold Case Sisters is a haunting work of historical true crime that traces the intertwined lives and violent deaths of Esther Solomons and her younger sister Kitty. Born into poverty in London’s East End, the sisters grew up amid hardship, crime, and uncertainty, never imagining that their lives would end in remarkably eerily similar ways on a quiet street in the remote port city of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Drawing on meticulous archival research, newspaper accounts and more, historian Susan Harper reconstructs the sisters’ journeys from the slums of Whitechapel London, to Prince Rupert on the far northern coast of British Columbia, Canada. She explores the world they lived in, the lives of working-class women, the shadowed realities of prostitution, the limitations of early 20th-century policing, and how certain victims were too easily forgotten."--]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129937290</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129937290</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harper, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129937290049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Brutal Slaying of Esther &amp; Kitty</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781069980526/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[La Nouvelle-France]]></title><description><![CDATA[Documentaire permettant de se familiariser avec la fondation de la Nouvelle-France en suivant les expéditions de Jacques Cartier et ses contacts avec les Iroquois.

Employed by the Hudson's Bay Company during perhaps the most conflict ridden years of British North America's history, Brown set out on the path of the ordinary fur trader, marked by hardship and strife: he struggled to survive during long, hard, hungry winters, and the fierce conflict with men of the rival North West Company during the Pemmican War. He found himself embroiled in the churning politics of the time, playing a role in the mutiny on the waters of the Hudson Bay. Brown would go on to establish Fort Kilmaurs in New Caledonia, now Northern BC, and emerge as a pioneering explorer, fueled by the dream of being the first HBC trader to reach the Pacific Ocean via the Skeena River. While not a powerful figure in his own right, Brown nonetheless left a mark on the development of the nation. Through letters and entries in the HBC journals, he gives us a rich picture of the era through his journals. Award-winning historian Geoff Mynett delivers the fascinating story of a Hudson's Bay everyman and the tumultuous conditions of Canada's fur trade.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129930455</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129930455</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mynett, Geoff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129930455049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>William Brown and the Fur Trade, 1811-1827</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781773861524/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once Upon This Land]]></title><description><![CDATA["With evidence of human habitation dating back fifteen thousand years to the last ice age, British Columbia boasts a fascinating array of famous and lesser-known archaeological sites. Across the province, archaeologists are changing how archaeology is practised by working in partnership with Indigenous and other descendant communities to document important cultural sites. In this up-to-date overview, professional archaeologist Robert Muckle visits sites around the province to explain what archaeology is (and isn't), how research is undertaken in this province, and what it contributes to our broader understanding of human history. Once upon This Land introduces readers to some of the most notable archaeological investigations, including footprints left in mud on Calvert Island thirteen thousand years ago, the remains of a large First Nations village near Lillooet, and the body of a man frozen in ice for centuries in the Tatshenshini region. He also investigates more recent phenomena, such as a fur-trade fort, remains of the gold rush, a World War I internment camp near Fernie, a Japanese logging camp in North Vancouver, shipwrecks, airplane crashes, and even the remnants of COVID-19 left behind in urban landfills."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129609113</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129609113</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Muckle, Robert James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129609113049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Archaeology in British Columbia and the Stories It Tells</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780774881081/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lost Legacies]]></title><description><![CDATA[In today's individualistic Western society, wisdom from our elders' lives and homelands is being lost. A retired lawyer and psychologist, whose Polish roots were virtually unknown to her while she grew up in Canada, author Margaret Ostrowski had been always touched by the historical backgrounds of the immigrant groups she encountered. In Lost Legacies, she embarked on a quest to explore her own heritage - her grandmother (and father's) home in the Russian Partition of Poland and their journey and settlement here. Years of research from a wide range of sources helped her realize that she was a Western Slav from a country with a remarkable Golden Era, with outstanding heroes, scientists, and artisans combined with an unfortunate vulnerable location between aggressive powers that removed Poland from the map for 123 years. Her paternal grandmother's story includes the death of infants, a gold mine, and a Canadian poet. In Lost Legacies, ancestral stories inspire differing views of how to live, help formulate opinions and policies on immigration today, and assist in properly caring for our invitees or alternately aiding them to remain in the homelands they hold in their hearts.]]></description><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129919065</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129919065</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ostrowski, Margaret V.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129919065049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Learning From Ancestral Stories for Inspiration and Policy-making Today</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781927599624/MC.GIF&amp;client=bclibcoop&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strangers Entertained]]></title><link>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129918665</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S49C129918665</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Norris, John M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1971 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sitka.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/129918665049</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A History of the Ethnic Groups of British Columbia</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[The West Beyond the West]]></title><description><![CDATA[Critically acclaimed since its publication in 1991, the BC history of choice has now been revised.
