"Emerging from the field of Canadian Native-newcomer relations, this edited volume focuses on Natives seen as individuals instead of a generalized people, engaging with the historic or contemporary circumstances of colonial invasion."

"Roots of Entanglement is centred on various aspects of the history of Indigenous-newcomer relations, focusing on the legacy of J.R. Miller prize-winning scholar and former Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Native-Newcomer Relations at the University of Saskatchewan. As such, this collection of essays extends the discussion around Miller’s own areas of focus to address the questions central to understanding this relationship: ‘Why don’t we get along? What are the roots of this entanglement?’"
