Description:
In 1890, Harry and Mary Ann Foote arrived on Coast Salish ì
territory and purchased Jedediah - a private island. Starting ì
with the simple question "Where am I from?", this narrative ì
traces one family across Canada and through hundreds of years to ì
share a personal lens on the lived experience of settler ì
colonization. Drawing on original letters, transcripts, and oral ì
histories, the book weaves connections between the stories of ì
specific ancestors and their connection to land, treaties, and ì
Indigenous peoples at that time.
Accounts include colourful stories of homesteading on Jedediah ì Island, in what is now known as British Columbia, construction of ì the parliament buildings on Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island), life ì during the so-called "Indian Wars" of the 1700s, and homesteading ì on the shores of Ouentironk (Lake Simcoe). The earliest stories ì go back to the 1600s, when a settler with the unlikely name of ì Peter Rambo was one of the earliest founders of a settlement ì called New Sweden in what we now call Pennsylvania.
