As Long As This Land Shall Last
As Long As This Land Shall Last is an historically
accurate and complete document of Treaties 8 and 11 between
the Canadian government and the Native people that ensured
they could live and hunt in the Northwest Territories –
“as long as the sun rises, as long as the river flows,
as long as this land shall last.”
Historian René Fumoleau has delved
into church and government sources to give the reader a
clear picture of the negotiations for the treaties beginning
in 1870 up to their aftermath in 1939.
This edition includes an afterword by Joanne Barnaby, former
Executive Director of the Dene Cultural Institute, that
outline the significant political and cultural developments
since the signing of these treaties. She examines these
developments with a fascinating discussion that will have
lasting implications for future generations of Dene people.
René Fumoleau, retired priest, produced
the 1976 film, I Was Born Here (Mon pays est ma vie, 1977)
and directed Dene Nation in 1979. He has written two books
of short stories and poems, both published by Novalis, and
has written for various newspapers and magazines in both
French and English.
