About This Item
Saskatchewan: A.P.. Good in Good dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 0968736904 . "A remarkable book about a prominent Plains Cree leader of the nineteenth century who ought to be far better known to all Canadians. Provides great insight into the life of this man but it also richly details Cree culture, society and economy before and during the era of rapid change. While the focus is on Chief Ahtahkakoop, there is a much larger and fascinating cast of characters introduced here, including his extended family and others in the community, both Cree and non-Cree." - Sarah Carter, University of Calgary. "This exceptionally rare work with its emphasis on authentic voice, oral tradition, and primary documentation speaks volumes on the shared history of Canada and Ahtahkakoop's people." - Gloria Mehlmann, Saskatchewan Department of Education. xx, [3]-844 pp. Extensive footnotes. Bibliography. Index. Guide to Cree Pronunciation. Glossary of Non-Indian People. Glossary of Place Names. Illustrated in colour and black and white. Large gilt illustration upon front board.
