Riassunto

<b>A survey of land struggles in Vancouver Island between settlers and indigenous peoples through two centuries.</b><br><br> For centuries, nations have battled in court over the meanings of indigenous and settler treaty agreements. In the spirit of <i>cel&#8217;a<u>n</u>&#8217;en</i>, which means &#8220;our culture, the way of our people,&#8221; <i>To Share, Not Surrender</i> surveys two centuries of land struggles on Vancouver Island through translations and interpretations of key treaties in SEN&#262;O&#358;EN and Lekwungen languages as well as accounts from Songhees, Huu-ay-aht, and WSANEC peoples. As the struggle for land continues, this book advances the urgent task of justice and reconciliation in Canada.<br> &#160;
