Thou Shalt Forget

Following a decade-long research project, this devastating book examines colonial state imperatives to sideline indigenous peoples and history from mainstream national narratives. Through the study of his community, the Essipiunnuat or, ‘People of the Brook Shells River’, the author hopes to combat the erasure of First Nations people from colonial history-books by shedding a light on historical and current systematic and territorial oppression. A critical text for those with an interest in indigenous history and human rights, Thou Shalt Forget also serves as an important tool for remembrance and a starting point for resistance and change.
