With 348 pages, this compelling narrative debunks the myth that Indigenous peoples lacked interest or skill in farming. Instead, Carter reveals the determination of reserve residents to cultivate their land and the significant barriers imposed by government policies that hampered their progress. From 1874 to 1885, despite their persistent requests, the Canadian government's meager support proved ineffective, leaving the Indigenous communities struggling against natural adversities like droughts and frosts. \"Lost Harvests\" not only sheds light on this critical aspect of history but also emphasizes the resilience of the Plains Indians. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of agriculture and government relations in North America. Immerse yourself in this eye-opening work that challenges preconceived notions and highlights the enduring spirit of a community striving for self-sufficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarah Carter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51410724520278,"sku":"9780773557444","price":37.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9780773557444.jpg?v=1758824515","url":"https:\/\/www.englishbook.fi\/products\/lost-harvests-9780773557444","provider":"Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
