Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens: A History of Indian-White Relations in Canada

Rating:
Summary: This book should be taught in the public school system
Review: Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens is a fresh look at Canadian history. It outlines the history of relations between Natives and Europeans in Canada - a history that should be studied more thoroughly in the Canadian public school system. Ever since the broken promises of the Royal Proclamation of 1763, the government has coerced the Natives and attempted to assimilate them into their European standards, while simultaneously trying to destroy Native language and culture. It is important to view history from more than one perspective and the perspective of the Natives in Canada is largely overlooked. A very comprehensive gathering of knowledge.
