In \u003cem\u003eIndigenous London\u003c\/em\u003e, historian Coll Thrush offers an imaginative vision of the city's past crafted from an almost entirely new perspective: that of Indigenous children, women, and men who travelled there, willingly or otherwise, from territories that became Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States, beginning in the sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey included captives and diplomats, missionaries and shamans, poets and performers.
