Yet with the expansion of settlers into the First Nations territories that became southern Alberta and BC, liberalism proved to be an exclusionary rather than inclusionary force. Between 1877 and 1927, government officials, police officers, church representatives, ordinary settlers, and many others operated to exclude and reform Indigenous people. Presenting Anglo-Canadian liberal capitalist values and structures and interests as normal, natural, and beyond reproach devalued virtually every aspect of Indigenous cultures. This book explores the means used to facilitate and justify colonization, their effects on Indigenous economic, political, social, and spiritual lives, and how they were resisted.West unbound.Indians of North AmericaAlbertaHistoryIndians of North AmericaBritish ColumbiaHistoryLiberalismAlbertaHistoryLiberalismBritish ColumbiaHistoryMarginality, SocialAlbertaHistoryMarginality, SocialBritish ColumbiaHistoryNorthwest TerritoriesHistory1870-1905AlbertaHistory1905-1945British ColumbiaHistory1871-indigenous peopleFirst NationscolonizationsettlersIndians of North AmericaHistory.Indians of North AmericaHistory.LiberalismHistory.LiberalismHistory.Marginality, SocialHistory.Marginality, SocialHistory.971.1004/97Smith Keith D(Keith Douglas),1953-984109MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK9910139356103321Liberalism, surveillances and resistance2247558UNINA
