This was a tough book to read through, though it means Professor Cameron definitely did her work. Rooting her work in Indigenous female thought, Professor Cameron teases out the complications and philosophies guiding indigenous people's relationship to land. She contrasts Indigenous land treaties to modern day Canadian law, and the conflict that arises when the two don't see eye to eye. What made it difficult for me, as a layperson with little knowledge of indigenous philosophy or property law, is the dense language and construction of the book. I often found myself rereading the same sentence to figure out the meaning and rereading paragraphs to figure out the context. Perhaps, I am not the ideal audience for this work at the time, but I did enjoy getting an understanding of a new area of knowledge!
