Laws and the Land
The Settler Colonial Invasion of Kahnawà:ke in Nineteenth-Century Canada
«Daniel Rück presents a richly detailed and sophisticated history of land use rights and ownership on the Kahnawa:ke reserve over the course of a century. He is thoroughly impressive in his articulation of the many ways in which Indigenous and European laws are both at odds and, at times, complimentary.»
Bill Parenteau, University of New Brunswick, NiCHE
As the settler state of Canada expanded into Indigenous lands, two traditions clashed in a bruising series of asymmetrical encounters over land use and ownership. One site of conflict was Kahnawa:ke. The Laws and the Land delineates the route from pre-contact and early contact ways of sharing the land to the establishment of Kahnawa:ke within the French seigneurial system, land use under Kahnawa:ke law, and the colonizing push to impose the Indian Act and private property - little short of an invasion spearheaded by bureaucrats.

This meticulously researched book is connected to larger issues of membership in Indigenous nations, communal versus individual property rights, governance, and inequality.

«As someone who has been teaching Indigenous studies courses for almost a decade... I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Indigenous history of Canada... I have no doubt that it will become a regularly cited work, but it is also written in such a away that members of the general public should find it not only accessible, but also interesting.»
