CWM Book Club – P. Whitney Lackenbauer and Battle Grounds

CWM Book Club – P. Whitney Lackenbauer and Battle Grounds: The Canadian Military and Aboriginal Lands

Battle Grounds analyzes a century of government-Aboriginal interaction and negotiation to explore how the Canadian military came to use Aboriginal lands for training. It examines what the process reveals about the larger and evolving relationship between governments and Native communities, and how increasing Aboriginal assertiveness and activism have affected the issue.

P. Whitney Lackenbauer is an assistant professor in the Department of History at St. Jerome’s University, University of Waterloo.
