"The Lost Reserve is a meticulous record of Canada's colonialism through practice and policy and a community's frustrating century-and-a-half struggle for treaty, fairness, and a home." --Niigaanwewidam James Sinclair, author of Wînipêk: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre "The Lost Reserve, which chronicles the history and struggles of the Chacachas First Nation, is one chapter in the re-writing and correction of Canadian history. It is a must-read." --Justice Doug Kovatch, judge of the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan and former legal counsel to the Chacachas Treaty Nation "The Lost Reserve is a powerful story of First Nation strength and resilience in response to the racism and inequities at the heart of Canada's colonization project. It should be read by all Canadians searching for inspiration and a path towards meaningful reconciliation." --Bruce McIvor, author of Indigenous Rights in One Minute: What You Need to Know to Talk Reconciliation "It's difficult to sum up in a few words the feelings and thoughts that this book evokes. The nêhiyaw word 'hkamêyimok, meaning to persevere or try hard, comes to mind. From start to finish, The Lost Reserve is a story and roadmap of how getting to the truth of our Treaty histories is hard, but it can be done through strong and resilient Elders, leaders, citizens, and allies carrying our oral histories forward.

" --Kathy Walker, Treaty Commissioner, Saskatchewan "The perseverance of the Chacachas Treaty Nation stands as a profound affirmation of Indigenous strength, governance, and continuity. This book honours the generations who safeguarded their identity through every attempt at displacement and erasure, and it documents with clarity the truth our Elders have always carried: the Chacachas people have never ceased to exist as a Nation." --Chief Bobby Cameron, Chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations "The Lost Reserve provides a powerful window into how Canada dispossessed the Chacachas First Nation of their land and how much it has taken to even begin a tentative and fragile kind of redress." --Adele Perry, author of Aqueduct: Colonialism, Resources, and the Histories We Remember "Through a rich combination of Indigenous knowledge and historical research, The Lost Reserve makes an important contribution to Indigenous history and historiography on the prairies and aids the fight for justice for the Chacachas Treaty Nation." --Sean Carleton, co-author of When the Pine Needles Fall: Indigenous Acts of Resistance.
