We Are All Treaty People: Prairie Essays Paperback - 2008
by Roger Epp
From the rear cover
In his collection of Prairie essays--some of them personal, some poetic, some political--Roger Epp considers what it means to dwell attentively and responsibly in the rural West. He makes the provocative claim that Aboriginal and settler alike are Treaty people; he retells inherited family stories in that light; he reclaims the rural as a site of radical politics; and he thinks alongside contemporary farm people whose livelihoods and communities are now under intense economic and cultural pressure. We Are All Treaty People invites those who feel the pull of a prairie heritage to rediscover the landscapes of the rural West, and to dwell among its people and their political economy. Roger Epp is the dean of the University of Alberta's Augustana Campus in Camrose, where he is also professor of Political Studies. He is a co-editor of Writing Off the Rural West and a frequent speaker and media commentator on rural issues. A native of rural Saskatchewan, and a former daily newspaper journalist in Alberta, he increasingly has shaped his teaching and research towards questions of community survival, settler-aboriginal relations, agrarian political thought, and local democratic life. Like his parents and grandparents, Roger Epp has lived most of his life on Treaty Six land in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
