Résumé:
Illuminating the First Nations struggles against the Canadian state, ''It’s all about the land'' exposes how racism underpins and shapes Indigenous-settler relationships. Renowned Kahnawà:ke Mohawk activist and scholar Taiaiake Alfred explains how the Canadian government’s reconciliation agenda is a new form of colonization that is guaranteed to fail. Bringing together Alfred’s speeches and interviews from over the past two decades, the book shows that Indigenous peoples across the world face a stark choice: reconnect with their authentic cultures and values or continue following a slow road to annihilation. Rooted in ancestral spirit, knowledge, and law, ''It’s all about the land'' presents a passionate argument for Indigenous Resurgence as the pathway toward justice for Indigenous peoples.

Résumé:
The word Wasáse is the Kanienkeha (Mohawk) word for the ancient war dance ceremony of unity, strength, and commitment to action. The author notes, "This book traces the journey of those Indigenous people who have found a way to transcend the colonial identities which are the legacy of our history and live as Onkwehonwe, original people. It is dialogue and reflection on the process of transcending colonialism in a personal and collective sense: making meaningful change in our lives and transforming society by recreating our personalities, regenerating our cultures, and surging against forces that keep us bound to our colonial past."

Résumé:
"Paix, pouvoir et droiture : un manifeste autochtone", qui tire sa structure des chants du rituel de condoléances rotinohshonni, appelle toutes les Premières Nations à prêter une oreille attentive à la voix des ancêtres afin de développer une philosophie visant à contrer l’assimilation. L’essai d’Alfred est un véritable plaidoyer en faveur des droits et de l’autodétermination des peuples autochtones. Ce manifeste se veut avant-gardiste, proposant des pistes de réflexion inédites ayant significativement participé à améliorer la compréhension des enjeux des Premières Nations de l’Amérique du Nord.
