The Stolen Country Myth - Charles Edward Scheideman
The Stolen Country Myth is Charles Edward Scheideman's fifth book. All of his books originated from his years in the RCMP and a lifetime of experiences involving Natives and the general Canadian population.
His history book points out deceptions perpetrated on the general population, school children, and Natives pertaining to the myth about the good life of Natives before the explorers arrived, as well as Native efforts to improve their lives. The lies that have been told are more than just wrong. This rewriting of four hundred years of history should be looked on as a criminal act.
Many of our modern, well-educated citizens are involved in avoiding the ugly truth, and are trying to present information that tells history the way they wish things were, or the way they would like it to be. It appears the stone age is still with some of us.
Says the author: "The lies presented to the world have made the Native situation worse, and this practice is unending. The Native woman telling of the police pulling children from the arms of their screaming mothers, and another telling of the school staff beating and whipping children until they lost consciousness. This was presented to the world over television."
(About the Author)
Charles Edward Scheideman grew up on a farm near Edmonton, Alberta, and now lives in retirement near Victoria, British Columbia. "The book helped me to better understand the bitter resentment among the Natives and to question their motives for telling their stories after nearly four hundred years. Who and what motivated them to do this after all those years?"
