The following is an excerpt from Valley of the Birdtail: An Indian Reserve, a White Town, and the Road to Reconciliation, by Andrew Stobo Sniderman and Douglas Sanderson (Amo Binashii). The two authors explore the history of two Prairie communities: one Indigenous, one non-Indigenous living side by side, separate and unequal, and what it means for the rest of us.
