{"product_id":"ghost-peoples","title":"Ghost Peoples","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1956 the Canadian government declared the Arrow Lakes Indian Band extinct. There was only one problem Ð they were still alive. But the government was about to begin negotiations with the USA for the Columbia River Treaty that would dam the Columbia and create a reservoir stretching from Castlegar in the south to Revelstoke in the north. This two hundred mile long lake would eventually wipe out all archaeological traces of a culture that had endured for over five thousand years. Ghost Peoples is the story of the Sinixt: their origins, their culture, their history and their present situation. This story is not one of blame but one that hopes to shine a light on a darkness that pervades our history so that it can be reconciled. Our story is not complete without the truth of our prehistory; our landscape is barren without its original inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44228860346529,"sku":"1toppap1144","price":31.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1yje9jvj-front-shortedge-384_9f76c6b4-3de3-4dab-a33a-036d76231b11.jpg?v=1718425979","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/ghost-peoples","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
