1) We recommended James Daschuk's Canadian bestseller Clearing the Plains.
Pair it with George Colpitts's Pemmican Empire, which examines food, imperialism/colonialism, and Indigenous-settler relations on the Prairies in the same era. cambridge.org/core/books/pem…

2) We recommended Sarah Carter's Imperial Plots, a multiple award-winning history of Prairie women farmers and ranchers.
Pair it with Cheryl Troupe's dissertation on Métis women's food harvesting & land tenure in the Qu'Appelle Valley from 1850 to 1950. harvest.usask.ca/handle/10388/1…

3) We recommended Brittany Luby's Dammed, a brilliant look at the hydraulic transformation of the Winnipeg River watershed.
There's so much #envhist scholarship on dams in Canada that it's hard to choose! But my pick is Tina Loo's "Disturbing the Peace." doi.org/10.1093/envhis…

4) We recommended Adele Perry's presidential address "Starting with Water: Canada, Colonialism, and History in 2019."
Pair it with Perry's Aqueduct, which tells the beginning of this story, and which in many ways represents scholarship we need more of. arpbooks.org/Books/A/Aquedu…

5) We recommended The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic Canada, Liza Piper's impressive first book.
Pair it with Jonathan Peyton's Unbuilt Environments, another excellent study of industrialization in the North that focuses on projects-that-weren't. ubcpress.ca/unbuilt-enviro…

6) We recommended John Sandlos' Hunters at the Margin, a terrific book that's been key to my own scholarly journey.
Pair it with this absolutely brilliant imagining of a decolonial future, "To Wood Buffalo National Park, with love." briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/…

6b) I'm going to cheat here and suggest a second pairing for Sandlos' book: this brand-new history of Wood Buffalo NP's relations with Denésuliné. It captures much that wasn't there (or wasn't explicit) in the colonial archives that Sandlos worked with. willowspringsss.com/uploads/2/5/5/…
7) We recommended (h/t to @FinisDunaway) Stephanie Rutherford's "Wolfish White Nationalisms: Lycanthropic Longings on the Alt-Right."
Pair it with Dallas Jokic's "Cultivating the Soil of White Nationalism: Settler Violence and Whiteness as Territory." doi.org/10.24908/jcri.…

8) We recommended Cole Harris' career capstone, A Bounded Land: Reflections on Settler Colonialism in Canada.
Pair it with Harris' The Resettlement of British Columbia, a classic and still a cornerstone to scholarship on settler colonialism in Canada. ubcpress.ca/the-resettleme…

9) We recommended Daniel Rück's The Laws and the Land, forthcoming from @UBCPress on Sept 15th.
Pair it with Frank Tester and Peter Kulchyski's Tammarniit, another close reading of colonial bureaucrats and the manifold harms they can inflict if unchecked. ubcpress.ca/tammarniit-mis…

10) Last--but hardly least!--we recommended @Yellowhead_'s Land Back, a powerful report on land dispossession in what's currently Canada.
Pair it with Cash Back, their new Red Paper on money, settler colonialism, and the restitution of stolen wealth. cashback.yellowheadinstitute.org

There we have it! With my @NiCHE_Canada colleagues, I hope all these suggestions help build your knowledge of the environmental context of settler colonialism, and other colonialisms, in northern North America's past and present. Thanks for reading! #envhist #envhum #cdnhistory
